摘要
We propose a novel technique for organizing steps on Si surfaces. Arrays of small holes are formed on Si(111) wafers misoriented toward [11 ($) over bar 2] by using conventional Si technology. The wafers are then annealed in an ultrahigh vacuum at about 1300 degrees C. During the hole filling-in process, steps on the surface are arranged regularly, and finally parallel step bands are ordered after the holes have completely disappeared.
