Abstract

Positron measurements on boron doped CZ—silicon show that clusters of oxygen interstitials trap positrons. Depending on whether a vacancy is associated to this cluster or not, the positron lifetimes exhibit changes from 240 to 100 ps. The positron data indicate the nature of the initial —or precursor — stages for thermal donor formation.
