The initial stages of the adsorption processes of oxygen and hydrogen on the Si(111)‐7×7 surface were studied at room temperature in real time using a ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy (UHV STM). We have found several specific features for each process. (1) the [112] steps are relatively insensitive to oxygen or hydrogen exposure: more resistant to hydrogen than to oxygen. (2) The adsorption proceeds with different chemical reactivities among the adatoms: the adatoms in the faulted half of the 7×7 unit cell are more active than the unfaulted half; the center adatoms in each half are more active and the corner adatoms are the next; the corner holes in the 7×7 unit cell are less active indicating that the 7×7 structure still exists even for fairly high coverages. (3) At initial stages of adsorption, oxygen is adsorbed in the on‐top site of the surface adatom forming Si–O and then in the bridge site forming Si–O–Si which causes the disorder in the image, whereas hydrogen is adsorbed in the on‐...
