Resonant scattering of electrons on optical phonons in inverted band structure is considered. It is proved that in intrinsic samples transition of the electrons from the conduction band to the valence band with simultaneous emission of optical phonons can cause a minimum of the conductivity. Such a scattering process explains the anomalous behavior of conductivity versus temperature in mercury telluride in the 30-50 K range.
