The oxidation kinetics at an SiO$$_{2}$$/Si(111) interface was monitored by O 1s and Si 2p photoelectron spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation to clarify the oxygen pressure dependence of oxidation rate. The initial oxygen uptake at the O$$_{2}$$ pressure of 4.6$$times$$10$$^{-5}$$ Pa and the substrate temperature of 500$$^{circ}$$C slowed down at about 0.4 nm, suggesting that the surface is covered with oxides. When the oxygen pressure was increased from 4.6$$times$$10$$^{-5}$$ Pa after saturation, the oxidation rate showed the increase depending on oxygen pressure difference. In addition to Si$$^{1+}$$, Si$$^{2+}$$, Si$$^{3+}$$, and Si$$^{4+}$$ components, Si$$_{alpha}$$ and Si$$_{beta}$$ components, which are associated with the interface strain, were examined carefully. To explain the observed correlation between the oxidation induced strain and the oxidation rate comprehensively, the vacancy and the emitted Si atoms from the interface are taken into account as oxygen adsorption sites.
