| 内容記述 | The trapping and detrapping of electrons is studied through measurements of space-charge-limited current in the temperature range of 77 to 293 K in high-purity silicon after irradiation with 14-MeV neutrons. A model is developed which describes most of the results quantitatively and self-consistently, including dc characteristics. Two distinct trap levels exist: the fast levels lie at 0.14 (plus or minus 0.005) eV below the conduction band, and the slow levels lie at 0.47 (plus or minus 0.01) eV below the conduction band. At 77 K, injected free electrons are initially captured by the fast 0.14-eV traps and then sink into the deep 0.47-eV traps, predominantly without being reemitted into the band. Above approximately 110 K, the detrapping rate from the shallow traps becomes so fast that the deep traps dominate. The results also offer a direct verification of the simple model of space-charge-limited current dominated by shallow and deep traps. |
