Do the charge trapping and de-trapping phenomena depend on the crystal structure of a semiconductor? I mean it is quite obvious that most of these trap states are generated due to irregularities or defects in the crystal, leading to sub-bandgap states that are responsible for charge trapping.

Taking into consideration the fact that defects will be always there, is there any structural dependency that is favorable or unfavorable for charge carrier trapping?
