Source:

  • Boron trichloride (BCL3) is produced by reacting together one of the following sets of ingredients.in each case the reaction requires elevated temperatures.
  • Finely divided carbon plus boric acid and chlorine

Application:

  • It is used as a chemical reagent in the pharmaceutical industry.
  • It is used as a source of boron for p-type doping silicon by thermal diffusion or ion implantation. It is also used for dry plasma etching of aluminium and its alloys
  • It is used as a carrier gas, as a catalyst in the organic reaction, for manufacturing of electrical resistors.
  • It may be used in the production of optical fibre.
