RECOMBINATION LEVEL IN n-TYPE GERMANIUM IRRADIATED WITH ELECTRONS

Journal Article · · Soviet Phys.-Solid State (English Transl.)
OSTI ID:4752657
The temperature dependence of the lifetime of excess carriers in n-type germanium, irradiated with fast electrons from a Sr/sup 90/-Y/sup 90/ source, was used to find the position of the recombination level of radiation defects. The level lies 0.26 ev above the valence band. The cross sections for capture by a recombination center are 2 x 10/sup -16/ cm/sup 2/ for electrons and 65 x 10/sup - 16/ cm/sup 2/ for holes. Irradiation was carried out at room temperature. The position of the recombination level was not altered by annealing. (auth)
