Silicon wafers were prepared for MBE growth by chemical treatment and temperature annealing under UHV conditions. The (7 × 7) and (2 × 1) reconstruction of {111} and {100}‐oriented Si surfaces were obtained only after high temperature annealing for few minutes at 1200 °C. The reconstruction effects were found to be stable for a long time even if the pressure in the UHV chamber increased to 10 −5 Pa.
