Abstract

The formation mechanism of the 7 × 7 reconstruction on annealed Si (1 1 1) surfaces was demonstrated. The bond-rearrangements proceeded along one side of a triangular F-half by breaking the existing dimers and forming new dimers like a 'zipper'. The sequential size change (SSC) model and the zipper-like restructuring could reduce the number of dangling bonds appearing at each moment during the size changes.
