Abstract

The effect of thermal treatment on the electrical properties of n-Si doped with the rare-earth element erbium during growth was studied for the first time. Annealing of the erbium-doped samples in air at 900–1200°C for 1–2 h, followed by quenching or slow cooling, leads to inhibition of the high-temperature defects.
