An ionic route is proposed to account for the observed hydrogen termin
ation resulting after the attack by HF concentrated aqueous solution t
o thermally oxidized silicon. The route is constituted by three cycles
each composed of four consecutive steps, the rate-determining one bei
ng F- transfer from the etching solution to the coma of SiFn terminati
