Cadmium phosphide (CdP) is a binary semiconductor ceramic compound combining cadmium and phosphorus, belonging to the III-V semiconductor material family. While primarily of research and development interest rather than high-volume production, CdP and related cadmium pnictides have been investigated for optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications due to their semiconductor bandgap properties. Engineers considering this material should note that cadmium's toxicity severely restricts deployment in consumer and biomedical applications, making CdP most relevant in specialized research contexts or legacy systems where alternatives (GaP, InP, or cadmium-free semiconductors) may not meet specific performance windows.

Regulatory Screening

Environmental

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.
