Abstract

The defect annihilation in CZ-crystal was first detected during the process of oxygen out-diffusion, by the positron measurements with a variable-energy beam. The defects, which were related to oxygen atoms such as oxygen cluster, were mainly annihilated at the high temperature, ex., 1150°C. The defect concentration was decreasing down to one tenth, compared with that for an as-grown crystal.
