Scanning tunneling microscopy observations are performed on a H-terminated Si(001) surface treated with HF solutions and ultrapure water with very low dissolved oxygen and total organic carbon contents. Over a large area, row structures are observed in [110] and [11¯0] directions. Pyramidal-shaped etch pits are also observed, which are caused by anisotropic etching by OH ions. Detailed images clearly show 2×1 periodic structures. It is suggested that every other row of the ideally dihydride 1×1 surface is etched preferentially by OH ions. This explains the mechanism by which the smallest etch pits are formed. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
