C01B 33/027

by decomposition or reduction of gaseous or vaporised silicon compounds other than silica or silica-containing material

Introduced: January 1990

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Silicon; Compounds thereof > Silicon > Preparation > by decomposition or reduction of gaseous or vaporised silicon compounds other than silica or silica-containing material

CPC:

Silicon; Compounds thereof ( C01B21/00, C01B23/00 take precedence; persilicates C01B15/14; carbides C01B32/956) > Silicon (forming single crystals or homogeneous polycrystalline material with defined structure C30B) > Preparation (chemical coating from the vapour phase C23C16/00) > by decomposition or reduction of gaseous or vaporised silicon compounds other than silica or silica-containing material

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 4 subcodes exist in both systems.

IPC defines codes here since 1990.
