Abstract
Deep level transient spectroscopy of electron irradiated p-type silicon reveals a defect level at Ev+0.19 eV, which during anneal treatments at 200 °C gradually transforms into a band with Ev+0.24 eV. Both energy levels however, are reported in literature to be the donor level of the divacancy. In the present study it is proposed that during the low-temperature anneal the divacancy interacts with oxygen, forming a V2O complex. During heat treatments at temperatures in the range between 250 and 450 °C a further shift of the deep level to higher energy positions is observed which might be related with other vacancy-oxygen complexes.
