Abstract The presence of dislocations in high-purity germanium influences the resolution of radiation detectors made from it. The four dislocation types found with electron microscopy are studied by DLTS to understand their influence on trapping in a γ-ray detector. Only three DLTS bands were found in commercially produced material. Statistical correlation with the detector resolution reported by various detector manufacturers finally yielded useful specifications with respect to the crystallographic perfection to be met in detector grade HP-Ge. The specification limits are discussed in view of the DLTS data.
