nitrideAny of a class of chemical compounds in which nitrogen is combined with an element of similar or lower electronegativity, such as boron, silicon, and most metals. Some examples of nitrides include boron nitride, calcium nitride, aluminum nitride, and cyanogen. Although some nitrides are unstable, others, especially nitrides of silicon, titanium, and tantalum, are very refractory and hard and thus are useful as abrasives and in making crucibles. nitride a compound of nitrogen with a more electropositive element, for example magnesium nitride, Mg3N2 PLEASE CHECK FORMULA nitride [′nī‚trīd] (inorganic chemistry) Compound of nitrogen and a metal, such as Mg3N2.

| SDK) has developed a new process for making high-quality compound semiconductors based on gallium nitride (GaN) and other nitrides to meet growing demand mainly for use in blue/white LEDs. For nitrides more stable than aluminum, formation is shifted to lower concentrations. At least another hundred studies on carbon nitrides have come out since his review, DeVries says. |
