We report the results of comparison of radiation-induced defects (1 MeVelectrons) in n+-p-p+ Si diodes doped with gallium orboron ranging in concentration from 8 × 1014 to 5 × 1016 cm−3, together with the impact of oxygen onradiation –induced defects. Present results provide evidence for new defectsstates in addition to those previously reported in gallium- and boron-dopedSi. The combined boron and gallium data provide enough information to gainvaluable insight into the role of the dopants on radiation-induced defectsin Si. The interesting new future of our results is that the gallium appearsto strongly suppress the radiation induced defect, especially hole level EV+0.36 eV, which is thought to act as a recombination center.Similarly the dominant electron level at EC-0.18 eV in B-doped Si(which act as a donor) has not been observed in Ga-doped CZ-grown Si.
