2020 21st International conference of young specialists on micro/nanotechnologies and electron devices (EDM) P. 36-41Abstract: In this paper, the motion of steps SA and SB on the Si(100) surface in the process of Si Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) is explored. The study was carried out by means of the reflection intensity dependence behavior analysis of reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) corresponding to the (2×1) and (1×2) reconstructions. Superstructural rearrangement from a two-domain to a single-domain surface is associated with the bilayer step formation, which occurs due to the different motion rates of the steps SA and SB. Based on the research conducted, the conditions under which the step doubling occurs were determined. A behavior analysis of the diffraction reflection intensity dependences showed that an increasing of preliminary annealing time and temperature facilitates to the faster convergence of the steps SA and SB, but to the slower recovery of the initial surface. The presented experimental results indicate that step movement rate difference depends on the step A edge kink density.
