DEFINITION

Classification: 501/92

And boride, silicide, nitride, or oxynitride:

(under subclass 88) Compositions which contain a silicide, boride, nitride, or oxynitride, in addition to silicon carbide.

(1) Note. A silicide is a binary compound of a metal or other more positive element with silicon, e.g., Mg2Si.

(2) Note. A boride is a binary compound of boron with a more positive element, e.g., Mg3B2, Si3B4.

(3) Note. A nitride is a binary compound of nitrogen with a metal, e.g., Mg3N2.

(4) Note. An oxynitride is a ternary compound of nitrogen, oxygen and a more positive element of the form Si2ON2.
