The effect of single-step annealing under GPa hydrostatic pressures on the photoluminescence of Cz silicon samples has been investigated at 450, 650 and 1000°C. It has been demonstrated that the effect of applied pressure begins to be detectable at 650°C and significant at 1000°C, where not only the effect of the applied pressure but also that of the dopants was clearly evidenced. In the first case the presence of a gap level associated to self-interstitial clusters could be argued, while in the second case both the oxide segregation and the dislocation formation was shown to be enhanced by the pressure and selectively addressed to the type of doping, respectively.
