Abstract

A method for fabricating trihalodisilane, the method includes providing a halodisilane including at least four halogen atoms; reducing the halodisilane, using a mixed reducing agent including a first reducing agent represented by following Chemical Formula 1-1, in which R A is an alkyl group, and m and n are each independently 1 or 2, and m+n=3, and a second reducing agent represented by following Chemical Formula 2-1, in which R S is an alkyl group or an aryl group, p and q are each independently 1, 2, or 3, and p+q=4; and obtaining a product including a 1,1,1-trihalodisilane,
