Abstract Defects induced by electron irradiation were investigated in GaP. The irradiation was performed at 15 K with an incident electron energy of 2 MeV and a fluence of 1018cm−2. Annealing experiments were carried out in the temperature range between 100 and 1000 K. Ga and P vacancies were detected after electron irradiation and the different annealing behaviour of the two types of vacancies was observed. The recovery stage between 100 and 400 K was attributed to the annealing of Ga vacancies and the recovery at temperatures above 900 K to the annealing of P vacancies. We also performed Hall measurements to determine the location of the Fermi level in the bandgap during the annealing. Two different ionization levels of the P vacancy were found which can be attributed to the transitions V P + /V P o and V P o /V P − . Temperature-dependent measurements were performed to study the effect of shallow positron traps.
