We present results of an ESR study of tetra-interstitial agglomerates (I 4 ) in silicon. The defects were formed upon annealing of electron-irradiated silicon samples pre-doped with hydrogen and reveal two ESR spectra, i.e., the B3 which is related to positive charge state of the defect and the NL51

## Abstract Mobile single interstitials can grow into extended interstitial defect structures during thermal anneals following ion implantation. The silicon tetraβinterstitials present an important intermediate structure that can either provide a chainβlike nucleation site for extended structures o
