Abstract

Evidence for a new microcrystalline precipitate in CZ Si annealed for 256 hrs at 635°C is presented by electron microdiffraction. This may be a precursor phase for the formation of amorphous platelets [9]. Multiple scattering microdiffraction calculations which distinguish the symmetries of two models for the thermal donor are also given.
