Deep acceptor levels in high-purity detector-grade Germanium (p-type) were studied by Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS). A correlation was found between the total concentration of electrical active copper-defects and detector resolution. The role of dislocations, vacancy- and oxygen related defects is less clear. The presence of high local concentrations of trapping centers in some crystals has been demonstrated. In general DLTS has shown to be a very powerfull tool for the evaluation of the detector quality of high-purity Germanium.
