It is found that the electrical parameters of single crystals of PbTe and structures on their base, the dependence of these parameters on temperature and conductivity type are essentially determined by the annealing temperature of the crystals. This is due to the change in concentration of deformation and intrinsic structural defects and creating of new charged vacancies in the tellurium sublattice during annealing.
