We demonstrate a self-organized pattern formation on vicinal Si(111) surfaces that are miscut toward the [2;11] direction. All the patterns, consisting of a periodic array of alternating (7 x 7) reconstructed terraces and step-bunched facets, have the same periodicity and facet structure, independent of the miscut angle, while the width of the facets increases linearly with miscut angle. We attribute such unique pattern formation to a surface faceting transition that involves two transition stages: the first stage forms a stress-domain structure defining the universal periodicity; the second stage forms the low-energy facets controlling the facet width.
