Si 2 N 2 O ceramics were prepared by plasma activated sintering using nanosized amorphous Si 3 N 4 powder without sintering additives within a temperature range of 1400°C–1600°C in vacuum. A mixed Si – N 4− n – O n ( n = 0, 1…4) amorphous structure was formed in the process of sintering, and Si 2 N 2 O crystals were nucleated where the local structure was similar with Si 2 N 2 O . After sintering at 1600°C, the Si 2 N 2 O ceramic was composed of elongated plate‐like Si 2 N 2 O grains and amorphous phase. The Si 2 N 2 O grains showed a width of less than 100 nm and a very high aspect ratio.
