Special features of annealing of radiation defects in irradiated p-Si crystals

Journal Article · · Semiconductors
p-Si single crystals grown by the Czochralski method were studied; the hole concentration in these crystals was p = 6 x 10{sup 13} cm{sup -3}. The samples were irradiated with 8-MeV electrons at 300 K and were then annealed isochronously in the temperature range T{sub ann} = 100-500 deg. C. The studies were carried out using the Hall method in the temperature range of 77-300 K. It is shown that annealing of divacancies occurs via their transformation into the B{sub s}V{sub 2} complexes. This complex introduces the energy level located at E{sub v} + 0.22 eV into the band gap and is annealed out in the temperature range of 360-440 deg. C. It is assumed that defects with the level E{sub v} + 0.2 eV that anneal out in the temperature range T{sub ann} = 340-450 deg. C are multicomponent complexes and contain the atoms of the doping and background impurities.
