Covalent bonding is done when two or more atoms share electrons with each other. Each covalent bond adds an extra shared electron for each atom. Each of the two or more atoms involved have to make enough covalent bonds to fill its outer shell.

Is the chemical bond that causes silicon atoms to combine called ionic bond?

no its a convalent bond as if it was an ionic bond it would be between a non-metal and metal (most of the time) but also between two ions. Because you are talking about two atoms it means that it is a covalent bond.
