No,vacant orbital is present on carbon of Me so, no backbonding..Hence SP3  hybridised “N” so ,pyramidal.While vacant orbital is present on Si i.e (vacant ‘d’)hence backbonding.so SPhybridised “N” hence planer.

SiH33N is planar in structure due to the arrangement of three bulky group s around N atom     this compound is less basic then CH33N because of less availability of lone pair of electron on N.
