Abstract
Experimental data on the long-term relaxation of the photocurrent in c ompensated samples of Si[B,S] and Si[B,Rh] are analyzed on the basis o f three mechanisms (sticking levels, recombination processes via level s with large relaxation, and separation of carriers in the spatial inh omogeneity field). It is shown that in a number of cases irradiation ( by Co-60 gamma-rays at different temperatures) makes it possible to de termine the dominant mechanisms. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physic s.
