We present scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) studies of the etching behavior surfaces Si(111)-(7×7) and Si(100)-(2×1) by atomic hydrogen. Etching proceeds via formation volatile SiH4 through a two-step mechanism in which H atoms react with SiH2 SiH3 species on surface at room temperature. By measuring area etch pits STM images taken under same flux conditions, Si(100) is determined to be nearly three times faster than that Si(111) because intermediate hydride products are more readily...
