"silicon-oxygen" is essentially meaningless.

Silica contains silicon and oxygen in the proportion 1:2, so is sometimes called "silicon dioxide", but it doesn't exist in the form of individual SiO2 molecules; they're bonded to each other in a large network.

In silicon oxide (silicon-oxygen), each silicon atom is bonded to two oxygen atoms. Therefore, the ratio of silicon to oxygen atoms is 1:2.
