The defect structure of Czochralski grown silicon single crystals annealed at 870-1400 K under hydrostatic pressure up to 1 GPa was investigated by conventional and synchrotron radiation X-ray topography and by reciprocal space mapping. Hydrostatic pressure promotes oxygen precipitation from oversaturated Si-O solid solution and the creation of structural defects.
