Abstract

The formation of the boron-induced reconstruction on Si(111) 7×7 surface has been studied with scanning tunneling microscope. By evaporating elemental B on Si elevated at high temperatures, reconstructed structures develop from the step edge to the adjacent lower terrace. They emerge at temperatures between 800°C and 900°C. It indicates that phase transition from 7×7 to 1×1 surface structure is necessary for forming the √3-B reconstructed structures. The phase boundary between 7×7 and regions is a straight line with termination of the faulted halves of 7×7 unit cell. It is also found that strip or triangle regions are formed, depending on the direction of the step propagation.
