Abstract
The thermal behaviour of deformation-induced traps in plastically deformed n-type silicon has been investigated via Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy. Among the four traps usually detected in plastically deformed silicon only two have been found to survive upon annealing: trap A and trap C located at 0.18-0.23 eV and 0.38-0.43 eV from the conduction band edge, respectively. The last one has been related to dislocations.
