General description

Dichlorosilane (DCS) is a halogenated silicon based precursor that facilitates the growth of a variety of silane based films such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, and epitaxial growth of silica.

Application

DCS is widely used in the synthesis of a variety of silicon-based materials, which find applications in the development of organic electronics based devices, including OFETs, MEMS, NEMS, MOSFETS, and lithium-ion batteries.

Inhalation toxicology, 18(8), 515-522 (2006-05-24)
The acute inhalation toxicity of 10 chlorosilanes was investigated in Fischer 344 rats using a 1-h whole-body vapor inhalation exposure and a 14-day recovery period. The median lethal concentration (LC50(1)) for each material was calculated from the nominal exposure concentrations
