“…It is expected that an enrichment with hydrogen will lead to more radiation-tolerant devices due to hydrogen passivation of radiationinduced defects [28,29], and acceleration of oxygen diffusion by promoting the formation of oxygen dimmers O 2 [30][31][32]. In a first experiment standard FZ devices were hydrogenated in a plasma at 300 1C for 2 h, irradiated with 3.5 MeV electrons to a dose of 3 Â 10 12 cm À2 followed by an isochronal annealing for 30 min up to 350 1C in steps of 50 1C [33]. After each annealing step DLTS spectra and depth profiles of the carrier concentration nðxÞ were recorded.…”
