A hydrogen-terminated silicon surface refers to the surface of a silicon wafer that has been treated to have hydrogen atoms bonded to its outermost silicon atoms, effectively saturating its dangling bonds. This condition typically occurs when a silicon wafer is exposed to hydrogen, often through processes such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or through the use of hydrogen plasma.
