Activation energy of thermal donors annealing increases from 1.7 to 2.5 eV on preliminary heat treatment of the Si crystals at 800⁰C. It is believed that this fact results from the dissolution of oxygen microfluctuations that are considered to be sources of intrinsic elastic strains and thereby to l...
