The recent development of the high-pressure synthesis of cubic, spinel-type silicon nitride (cSi
3N
4) by static and shock compressions was summarized in this review. The structural, thermal, and mechanical properties of cSi
3N
4 have been investigated experimentally and theoretically. The shock compression technique is the only way to produce a large amount of cSi
3N
4.
