It is established by infrared spectroscopy and Hall measurements that
the oxygen precipitates formed during preliminary high-temperature tre
atment suppress the generation of thermal donors in Si grown either by
the Czochralski method or by applying a magnetic field to a melt. Pos
sible mechanisms for the influence of precipitation on the formation o
f thermal donors are proposed. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
