The origin and atomic structure of C-defect on Si(100) have been unambiguously identified. Two pairs of enantiomorphic protrusions of C-defect have been observed by low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). These are attributed to the dissociative adsorption of a single water molecule on two adjacent dimers. Two unreacted dangling bonds on these dimers have different electronic states which are visualized in unoccupied state STM images.
