Abstract

Deep level transient spectrocsopy has been used to study deep levels in plastically deformed n-type silicon introduced by gold impurities at concentrations differing by about one order of magnitude. A DLTS-line is observed which shows the signatures of extended localized states and emission characteristics close to that of the gold acceptor level in dislocation-free silicon. It is attributed to gold accumulated in the strain-field of dislocations. The amplitude of the C-line typically found in plastically deformed silicon shows no correlation with the gold concentration.
