The synthesis of silica-like nanoparticles from organosilicon precursors is studied in a continuous plasma reactor. The influence of plasma power, gas composition, residence time, and system pressure on the particle formation is investigated. A qualitative particle growth model consisting of four phases is introduced and applied to explain the changes in mass production, morphology, and chemistry.
