Silicon hexaboride is used as a sputtering target material to create hard, wear-resistant, and chemically inert thin films for protective coatings and microelectronic components.
Due to its high melting point and oxidation resistance, SiB6 is utilized in the production of refractory ceramics and as a deoxidizer in metallurgical processes.
Silicon hexaboride is investigated for use in high-temperature semiconductor devices and thermoelectric applications due to its stable electrical properties at elevated temperatures.
