So, I think I found the original study: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41557-023-01346-3, because for some reason these articles never cite the actual studies. What happened to citing sources??

Anyway, apparently they did grew octyltrichlorosilane on silicon wafers. Now, I have no idea what octyltrichlorosilane is, but here is some information I found about it https://www.chemicalbook.com/msds/Octyltrichlorosilane.htm

It seems to be purely a chemical used for research, so this study would be more of a proof of concept, and you would replace the chemical used with something else for production.
