Detailed Solution

 N(SiH3)3 is planar because in  N(SiH3)3 lone pair on N−atom is shifted to the blank d− orbitals of silicon (pπ−dπ overlapping).

In  N(SiH3)3​, Si has vacant d-orbital. Here, the dπ−pπ overlap along the N−Si bond.

Thus, nitrogen has trigonal planar shape.

NBF23 is also planer about nitrogen atom.
