Notes:
Removal of surface oxides from a partially oxidized Si(111) surface, and simultaneous termination of the new dangling bonds by hydrogen in hot water with a 0.004 ppm concentration of dissolved oxygen, was observed. During removal for up to 60 min, vertical dihydrides at step edges appeared on the hydrogen-terminated surface. From observing selective removal of vertical dihydrides from an oxygen-free hydrogen-terminated surface, the appearance of vertical dihydrides at step edges shows the existence of the dihydride creation reaction, while the oxides are dissolved in water. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
