Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) Evaporation Material

Product Code : EM-CdTe-5N-Cu

Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) is a compound of cadmium and tellurium which is widely used in the manufacture of photovoltaic cells for solar energy production. It is also known for its wide range of optical and electrical properties, making it a versatile material for use in many applications. CdTe is typically used in evaporation processes to form thin films on substrates. For evaporation purposes, CdTe comes in pellet, chunk, and powder form. This material is generally used as an intermediate material, typically with a doping agent, to create the desired electrical or optical properties of a final film. The evaporation process can be done in a standard vacuum deposition system and requires a power source, such as a bell jar, as well as a boat to carry material in. CdTe can be vaporized at temperatures that range from 350°C up to estimated 950°C depending on the application and layer thickness.
