35. There are two general mechanisms by which the trapped electrons and holes are lost upon annealing. One is by free radical conversions, which require higher thermal energy and are activated at T > 150 K. The other is by free radical combination reactions, which require lower thermal energy and are activated over a wide range of temperatures (50 < T < 160 K). Radical combination reactions occur by detrapping the electron and/or hole.
