Silicon nitride (Si3N4) is one of the most advanced engineering ceramics on the market, providing an outstanding blend of mechanical and thermal properties. Each individual member of the Si3N4 ceramic family is comprised of silicon (Si) and nitrogen (N) in a densely-packed atomic arrangement of high-strength intra-structural covalent bonds. This provides the basis for the material’s high thermal and mechanical performance, as well as interesting electrical properties which can be tailored to specific applications.
