The position of the Fermi level E F relative to the valence-band maximum E V has been determined from accurate measurements of the Si 2 p core-level position relative to E F. As a reference, we use p-doped samples with a Ga overlayer and n-doped samples with a Cs+ O overlayer where E F is pinned near the valence-band maximum and conduction-band minimum, respectively. We obtain E F− E V= 0.40±0.03 eV for low-step-density cleaved Si (111)-(2× 1) and E F− E V= 0.63±0.05 eV for annealed Si (111)-(7× 7). Stepped cleavage surfaces are characterized by E F− E V= 0.46 eV and exhibit larger surface core-level shifts and a shift of the dangling-bond states towards lower binding energy.
