The real-time photoelectron spectroscopy using He-I resonance line at Tohoku University and synchrotron radiation at BL23SU, SPring-8 have been carried out to investigate the initial oxide growth kinetics on Si(001)2$$times$$1 and Si(111)7$$times$$7 at room temperature and 873 K. The oxygen uptake curves obtained by UPS showed that the initial oxide growth rate does not increase with increasing O$$_{2}$$ pressure on both Si(001) and Si(111) surfaces, implying that the oxide growth is not limited by the number of O$$_{2}$$ molecules impinging on the surface but governed by the surface reaction of O$$_{2}$$ molecule. Assuming the O$$_{2}$$ pressure dependences is represented by a power-low function of P$$^{n}$$, n is obtained to be 0.42 for Si(111) and 0.54 for Si(001) at room temperature. Based on the XPS and UPS observations, a surface reaction model for the nonlinear O$$_{2}$$ pressure dependence is proposed.
