Cadmium (Cd) Sputtering Targets

Cadmium (Cd) is a chemical element with unique electronic and optical properties that make it suitable for various semiconductor applications. Cadmium-based compounds, such as cadmium telluride (CdTe) and cadmium selenide (CdSe), are widely used in thin-film solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and quantum dot-based optoelectronic devices. The direct bandgap and high absorption coefficient of these materials enable efficient light absorption and emission, making them valuable for photovoltaic and display technologies. Cadmium can also be used as a dopant in semiconductor materials to modify their electrical characteristics. While the toxicity of cadmium presents environmental concerns, ongoing research focuses on developing cadmium-free alternative materials and addressing sustainability issues in the use of this element in electronic and optoelectronic applications.
