Description
Zinc Telluride Product Overview
Zinc telluride (ZnTe) is a dark grey to reddish semiconductor with a direct band gap of about 2.26 eV. It usually behaves as a p-type material and is available as powder, pieces and crystals.
In addition, photonics researchers use ZnTe crystals to generate and detect terahertz radiation by optical rectification and electro-optic sampling. Similarly, solar cell producers use copper-doped zinc telluride as a back contact layer in Cadmium telluride thin-film cells. It also is under study for green light-emitting devices and as a component of other II–VI compounds.
Furthermore, high-purity evaporation and sputtering materials serve thin-film deposition. Related tellurides and selenides in our range also include Tellurium Metal, Zinc selenide and Bismuth telluride.

⚠️ Safety & Handling: May be harmful if swallowed or inhaled; contact with acids may release toxic hydrogen telluride. Avoid dust formation, work with local exhaust ventilation, and also wear gloves, eye protection and dust protection. Store in tightly closed containers in a dry place, away from acids. Always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS), because it contains the full classification and handling instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is zinc telluride used for terahertz radiation?
Because its electro-optic properties match common laser wavelengths, ZnTe crystals efficiently generate and detect terahertz pulses.
