Abstract
The distribution of hydrogen in Si and SiC following high-temperature proton irradiation (T irr=20–700 °C) is studied by secondary-ion mass spectrometry. It is shown that the hydrogen concentration profile in SiC depends weakly on irradiation temperature. In Si appreciable alteration of the concentration profile is observed already at T irr⋍300 °C, and the profile completely loses its concentration gradient at T irr⋍700 °C.
