Silicon nitride
Compound of silicon and nitrogen
Silicon nitride
Silicon nitride is a chemical compound of the elements silicon and nitrogen. Si3N4 (trisilicon tetranitride) is the most thermodynamically stable and commercially important of the silicon nitrides, and the term "silicon nitride" commonly refers to this specific composition. It is a white, high-melting-point solid that is relatively chemically inert, being attacked by dilute HF and hot H3PO4. It is very hard (8.5 on the Mohs scale). It has a high thermal stability with strong optical nonlinearities for all-optical applications.
