The annealing behaviour of defects in FZ silicon grown in argon atmosphere and irradiated with neutrons has been studied by positron annihilation lifetime and Doppler broadening measurements.For FZ silicon irradiated with different neutrondoses
the radiation-induced monovacancy-type defect has very similar annealing behaviour and can be annealed out at 550℃
but the concentration of radiationinduced divacancy and the production
concentration and annealing-out temperature of secondary divacancy-and quadrivacancy-type defects are very different.The simple trapping model seems not suitable for FZ silicon irradiated with high neutron dose and annealed at the temperature lower than 500℃
but is suitable partially for that irradiated with middle neutron dose.
