Quantitativeness of RHEED intensity as a high speed tool to monitor nucleation and growth of 7~7 DAS domains on Si(111) surface rapidly quenched from high temperature disordered 1~1 phase has been investigated by comparing the time dependences of both RHEED intensity and STM images. The superlattice reflection intensity of RHEED normalized with that of@uniform coverage increased gradually as a function of time after the quenching. The@increasing rate was higher for higher substrate temperature. A series of STM images revealed the transient aspect of the Si(111)7~7 reconstruction that the plural nuclei were formed at random at the initial stage of growth, and the domain density decreased by coalescence as the growth proceeded. The coverage by 7~7 DAS domains obtained from STM images were always higher than the normalized intensity of superlattice reflection, which shows that the@intensity was reduced due to interference between randomly located DAS domains.
