Abstract
The generation and annihilation of deep levels in diodes fabricated on nand p-type floating zone and Czochralski silicon substrates is discussed as a function of the substrate parameters and the irradiation and thermal annealing conditions. Both low fluence irradiations with MeV protons and with the fission products of a 252Cf source are investigated. The presence of deep levels with densities in the range of 4×1011 to 2×1012 cm-3, is correlated with increase of the diode leakage current
