Abstract :
A silicon CCD imager has been irradiated with 10 MeV protons and measurements focused on random telegraph signal (RTS). A variance detection method is applied for quantifying the number of RTS after irradiation and through isochronal annealing. The observed behavior is analyzed and corresponds to the annealing of phosphorus-vacancies.
