Title: Influence of germanium on the formation of thermal donors in silicon

OSTI ID:5576112

In silicon samples doped with germanium to a concentration 5 x 10/sup 19/-10/sup 20/ cm/sup -3/ after heat treatment at 450/sup 0/C the breakdown of the thermal donors and restoration of the electrical resistivity to a value close to the resistivity of the unannealed samples, proceed faster, than in samples not doped with germanium. It is indirectly confirmed by the assumption that the oxygen solubility in germanium-doped silicon samples is higher at 450/sup 0/C than in the undoped samples.
