Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To readily produce a lower perfluoroalkane useful as an etching agent for semiconductors, a refrigerat or a forming agent at a relatively low reactional temperature and a low cost. SOLUTION: A perfluoroalkane (e.g. tetrafluoroethlene) is reacted alone pr with carbon dioxide in the presence of an activated carbon catalyst and thermally decomposed, preferably at 500-800 deg.C to afford a lower perfluoroalkane which is the objective compound, e.g. tetrafluoromethane, haxafluoroethane or octafluoropropane. The mixing molar ratio of the perfluoroalkene/carbon dioxide is preferably (1/3)-4. The contact time of the activated carbon catalyst with the raw material gas is preferably 1-60sec.
