Abstract

The formation processes of A-centers in Czochralski grown silicon subjected to heat treatment at various temperatures and subsequent 60Co gamma-irradiation at room temperature are investigated in some detail. The absolute cross-sections of these processes are determined by the presence of one or several competing channels of vacancy trapping by oxygen and other structural defects in heat-treated materials. It is shown that this cross-section can be used for monitoring the effective trapping channels in Cz-Si after short heat treatment when electron microscopy appears to be little or not informative.
