High-resolution O 1s and Si 2p photoelectron spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation was employed to clarify a layer-by-layer oxidation reaction mechanism on a Si(001) surface from the viewpoint of point defect generation due to an oxidation-induced strain at a SiO2/Si interface. The Siβ and Siα components in Si 2p3/2 spectra, which are assigned to the first and second strained Si layers, respectively, below the transition layer composed of suboxides, Si1+, Si2+, and Si3+, significantly decrease during the step-by-step temperature increase-enhanced growth of the second oxide layer. Because of the corresponding band bending changes measured using the O 1s peak position, which are caused by defect-related band gap states, the observed decreases in Siβ and Siα components, indicating a decrease in interfacial strain, are induced not only by the structural relaxation of a SiO2 network due to a thermal annealing effect, but also due to the generation of point defects at the SiO2/Si interface. Continuous band bending changes with the growth of the third oxide layer also suggest that the point defects are generated during oxide growth, whereas the Siβ and Siα components are maintained almost constant. On the basis of the observed interfacial strain and point defect generation changes, the layer-by-layer growth kinetics of the first, second and third oxide layers is discussed using a unified Si oxidation reaction model mediated by point defect generation at the SiO2/Si interface [S. Ogawa and Y. Takakuwa: Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. 45 (2006) 7063].
