  • Abstract
    Silicon p+/n/n+ junctions with nominal starting resistivity of 4-6 KΩcm have been irradiated with a 1 MeV neutron-equivalent fluence up to 4×1014 cm-2. In order to investigate the changes in the shallow level concentrations induced by irradiation, low temperature Thermally Stimulated Current measurements have been performed. For fluences over 1013 cm-2 a phosphorous removal is observed, probably due to the formation of the vacancy-phosphorous complex
