Cd1 Te1
semiconductor· Cd1 Te1
Cadmium telluride (CdTe) is a binary II-VI semiconductor compound notable for its direct bandgap in the infrared-to-visible range. It is primarily used in photovoltaic (solar) cells and radiation detection systems, where its high absorption coefficient and efficient charge carrier collection make it competitive with silicon-based alternatives for specialized applications requiring high efficiency in specific wavelength ranges or robust performance in harsh environments. CdTe is also investigated for X-ray and gamma-ray detection due to its relatively high atomic number and favorable charge transport properties.

Export Control
RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
