  • Abstract
    The decay of fast-neutron-induced Vp and P In defects during conventional thermal isochronal anneals was monitored using conventional electron paramagnetic resonance. An optimum temperature for the removal of the lattice damage introduced by neutron irradiation in undoped InP is found at 450°C. Annealing at higher temperatures reveals further bulk effects. During heat treatment, pinning of the Fermi level on the PIn0%+ midgap level is observed
