· JVASP-34188· SiO

Silicon monoxide (SiO) is a non-stoichiometric ceramic compound that exists in a substoichiometric state between pure silicon and silicon dioxide, combining both metallic and ceramic characteristics. It is primarily used in thin-film applications, optical coatings, and semiconductor device processing where its unique electronic and optical properties provide advantages over fully oxidized silica. SiO is notable in vacuum deposition and microelectronics manufacturing for its ability to serve as a moisture barrier, antireflection coating, or intermediate layer, and has research interest in advanced optics and emerging semiconductor technologies where its partial oxidation state enables property tuning unavailable with conventional SiO₂.
