I need more information to answer your question. "Silicon isotope" is a broad term. Silicon has several isotopes. To tell you the name of a specific silicon isotope, I need to know either its:

• Mass number: This is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus (e.g., silicon-28, silicon-30).
• Number of neutrons: Silicon has 14 protons. Knowing the number of neutrons allows calculation of the mass number.
• Other identifying characteristics: While less common, you might have other information such as its half-life or decay mode.

Once you provide this information, I can tell you the name of the specific silicon isotope.
