The effect of isotopic composition on the electron paramagnetic resonance of dangling bonds was studied in single-crystal and polycrystalline silicon. The results demonstrate that the resonance linewidth in monoisotopic Si-28 is smaller than that in Si with the natural isotopic composition because of the smaller contribution of superhyperfine interaction of electrons with the nuclear spins of Si-29. The relaxation contribution to the linewidth is larger in monoisotopic Si-28 because of the changes in the scattering of phonons responsible for the spin relaxation of paramagnetic dangling bonds.
Silicon tetrafluoride was obtained by the thermal decomposition of pure-grade sodium hexafluorosilicate and purified by low-temperature distillation. Next, SiF4 was Si-28-enriched by centrifugation and converted to silane by calcium hydride reduction. To remove hydrocarbons, the silane was distilled.

The possibility of the reduction of hexafluorodisiloxane by calcium hydride in the synthesis of silane from silicon tetrafluoride has been studied. This reaction is shown to be not decisive for oxygen contamination of silane. The most likely reason for the appearance of impurity Si2OH6 in "fluoride" silane is the Ca(OH)(2)-catalyzed reaction of silane with trace water. The concentration of impurity Si2OH6 in silane at the stage of synthesis may be efficiently decreased by the preliminary purging of calcium hydride with a hydrogen (grade A) flow.

High-purity isotopically enriched (99.98% Si-28, 99.57% Si-29, and 99.83% Si-30) silane samples are prepared for the first time. The total hydrocarbon content of the samples is no higher than 0.1-0.3 ppm. The concentration of electroactive impurities in the silicon prepared from the purified monoisotopic silane is below 10(15) cm(-3).
