α‐Si 3 N 4 is synthesized by an ammonia thermal synthesis using a cyclic oligosilazane, [(CH 3 ) 2 SiNH] 4 , as the starting material. [(CH 3 ) 2 SiNH] 4 reacts in the presence of ammonia at 900°C and 80 MPa pressure to give silicon nitride imide (Si 2 N 2 NH). Subsequently, Si 2 N 2 NH is converted into α‐Si 3 N 4 by thermal decomposition at 1500°C and 0.1 MPa nitrogen with the simultaneous loss of NH 3 .
