Silicon tetrafluoride is covalent.
Covalent
Covalent, because Xenon (non-metal) and Fluoride (non-metal) and the tetra is a prefix meaning four. Non-metal+non-metal= covalent bonds.
SiF4 is the formula. The compound is Silicon tetra-fluoride Si and 4F.
C1F4 is the chemical formula for Carbon Tetra-fluoride.

from wikipedia: "Tetrafluoromethane is sometimes used as a low temperature refrigerant. It is used in electronics microfabrication alone or in combination with oxygen as a plasma etchant for silicon, silicon dioxide, and silicon nitride.[4]"
The chemical formula silicon chloride is SiCl4.
It is XeF4
Carbon and silicon, of course, Germanium all are in the fourth group. This emphasises that they are tetra valent. They form crystalline structure with covalent bond.
Compound
Yes. It is covalent
Tetra is a Greek prefix meaning four.
