This paper reports the atomically flat surface formation of germanium (Ge) (111) in hydrogen gas (H2) annealing. The (111)-oriented Ge substrate was annealed at 350–850 °C, and the surface morphology was measured using an atomic force microscope. A step and terrace formation was observed on the Ge(111) surface in H2 annealing at the temperature ranging from 500 to 850 °C. Furthermore, the surface morphology after 2.4-nm-thick GeO2 formation at 400 °C on Ge(111) is also discussed from the viewpoint of the Ge surface oxidation mechanism.
