Using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and capacitance-voltage measurements we have investigated the role of excess-silicon related defect centers as charge traps in separation by the implantation of oxygen materials. Three types of EPR-active centers were investigated: oxygen vacancy Egamma' centers (O3=Si. +Si=O3), delocalized Edelta' centers, and D centers (Si3=Si.). It was found that all of these paramagnetic centers are created by selective hole injection, and are reasonably ascribed as positively charged when paramagnetic. These results provide the first experimental evidence for (1) the charge state of the Edelta' center, and (2) that the D center is an electrically active point defect in these materials.
