Non-LTE line-formation calculations have been undertaken for Si II, Si III and Si IV ions using a new grid of model atmospheres. The principal difference to previous calculations is the completeness and reliability of the adopted atomic data. Equivalent widths of 58 silicon lines are presented for a range of effective temperatures (17500 - 30000K), logarithmic gravities (3.5 - 4.5), microturbulent velocities (0 and 5 km s-1) and silicon abundances (approximately 7.0 - 8.0 dex) appropriate to main-sequence early B-type stars. Also tabulated are the corresponding LTE line strengths. The importance of non-LTE effects, particularly in the near-infrared, are confirmed.
