Although the oxide decomposition was observed to proceed via void nucleation and subsequent enlargement with SiO desorption and the void growth, it is still not clear what is a trigger to nucleate voids at SiO$$_{2}$$/Si interface. Recently, we reported that the emission of Si atom caused by the oxidation-induced strain at SiO$$_{2}$$/Si interface is likely responsible for nucleating voids. In this study, the thermal decomposition kinetics of ultrathin SiO$$_{2}$$ film on Si(001) and Si(111) surfaces have been investigated using real-time X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy with photon energy of 711 eV at JAEA beamline BLSU23, SPring-8 to confirm the void nucleation model.
