    ​Silane, SiH4, is formed when SiCl4 or SiF4 reacts with Li[AlH4]. Industrially, SiH4 is produced from powdered silicon. This is first treated with HCl at 620K to give SiHCl3. Passage over a catalyst (e.g. AlCl3) then converts SiHCl3 into SiH4 and SiCl4. Large-scale production of SiHCl3 and SiH4 is necessary because they are sources of pure Si for semiconductors. Silanes SinH2n+2​ with straight or branched chains are known for 1n≤10. Silanes are explosively inflammable in air.

    SiH4ΔSi+2H2\text{SiH}_4 \xrightarrow{\Delta} \text{Si} + 2\text{H}_2

    SiH4+2O2SiO2+2H2O\text{SiH}_4 + 2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{SiO}_2 + 2\text{H}_2\text{O}

    ​​Being highly stable, silicon dioxide arises from many methods. Conceptually simple, but of little practical value, combustion of silane gives silicon dioxide. This reaction is analogous to the combustion of methane:

    SiH4+2O2SiO2+2H2O\text{SiH}_4 + 2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{SiO}_2 + 2\text{H}_2\text{O}

    SiO2+4LiAlH4Si+4LiAlO2+4H2\text{SiO}_2 + 4 \text{LiAlH}_4 \rightarrow \text{Si} + 4 \text{LiAlO}_2 + 4 \text{H}_2
