Cadmium telluride (CdTe) is a stable crystalline compound composed of cadmium and tellurium, with the chemical formula CdTe. It is best known for its excellent semiconductor properties and is widely used in solar cells, infrared detectors, radiation detectors, and electrooptic modulators.
Highpurity CdTe is also an important source material for Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) in semiconductor research and device production. Its precise stoichiometry and high purity make it suitable for growing highquality epitaxial layers and advanced optoelectronic structures.
