Abstract
Abstract Novel polysiloxazanes comprising (̵(̵ SiH 2 ) n NH + and (̵(̵ SiH 2 ) m O as the main repeating units may be produced by reacting a dihalosilane or an adduct thereof with a Lewis base, with ammonia and water vapor or oxygen. From the polysiloxazane, novel silicon oxynitride shapes can be produced and the silicon odynitride shapes are essentially composed of silicon, nitride (5 mole% or more) and oxygen (5 mole% or more).
