The reaction kinetics of O
molecule at SiO
/Si interfaces were investigated as a function of O
pressure (PO
) by real-time X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy at BL23SU, SPring-8, to monitor the interfacial oxide growth rate (Rint), the oxidation states (Si
, Si
, Si
and Si
, and the magnitude of oxidation-induced strain (Si
and Si
) at the same time during oxidation. When increasing PO
after the surface oxidation, Rint showed a nonlinear power-low function of (PO
)
, where n was almost the same as 0.5 for both Si(111) and Si(001) substrates. The results are interpreted by a Si oxidation model, in which the defect generated by the oxidation-induced strain is an active site for dissociative adsorption of O
at SiO
/Si interface. Furthermore, when increasing PO
during the surface oxidation, Si
and Si
showed significant changes at the start of interfacial oxidation.
