CY5391 Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) Crystal Substrate

Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) Crystal Substrate Description

Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) Crystal Substrate is a compound semiconductor material that has attracted attention due to its applications in radiation detection, particularly in the field of X-ray and gamma-ray spectroscopy. CZT exhibits a cubic crystal structure, specifically in the zinc blende or sphalerite crystal structure.

CZT is a semiconductor with a wide bandgap and excellent radiation detection properties. It is particularly suitable for the detection of high-energy photons such as X-rays and gamma rays. Due to the high atomic number of Cadmium and Tellurium in CZT, it can interact with gamma-ray photons and stop them.
