Tellurium is a metalloid with semiconducting properties, exhibiting a narrow bandgap and good photoconductivity. These characteristics make tellurium attractive for various optoelectronic applications. Thin films of tellurium can be deposited using sputtering techniques, enabling the fabrication of high-quality layers for devices such as photovoltaic cells, thermoelectric materials, and phase-change memory. Sputtering allows for precise control over the film composition and thickness, which is crucial for optimizing the performance of tellurium-based devices. Additionally, tellurium is a key component in chalcogenide glasses, which find applications in optical storage media and as phase-change materials in non-volatile memory devices. The ability to deposit tellurium thin films by sputtering has greatly facilitated the development and advancement of these technologies.
