Abstract
The mechanism for the reaction of a hydrogen atom with a silicon surface trihydride species was investigated by ab initio molecular orbital techniques. This reaction is believed to be the final step in the overall mechanism for the etching of silicon surfaces by hydrogen atoms. The gas-phase reaction of disilane with a hydrogen atom to form silyl radical and silane was used as the model for the etching process.
