Eight planetary nebulae (PNe) are known to emit OH and/or H2O masers, but there is no report of an SiO maser in this type of objects. We present a search for SiO masers in 16 confirmed and candidate PNe, carried out with the Australia Telescope Compact Array. We found no evidence of association between SiO masers and PNe in our data. Previous detections of thermal SiO emission in PNe show that these molecules can be present in gas phase in this type of objects, but it is not yet clear whether they can be found where the physical conditions are appropriate for maser pumping. We suggest that the best candidates for a new search would be PNe showing high-velocity outflows.
