Ok. I was never a process guy, but worked with some back in the day and they told me that one of their phosphorus sources was phosgene gas.

Silane, phosphene, and diborane gases are used to form epitaxial layers on silicon wafers. Those are truly dangerous gases. However, a simple wafer process using the reagents I mentioned can produce very credible ICs, if one buys the epi wafers.
