Cadmium Sulfide

Cadmium sulfide is a direct bandgap II-VI semiconductor used in the fabrication of thin-film solar cells, specifically as a buffer layer in CIGS and CdTe photovoltaics.

CdS sputtering targets are utilized to deposit thin semiconductor films for photosensors and thin-film transistor applications.

Used as an optical coating material due to its high refractive index and transparency in the infrared spectrum.

Cadmium sulfide is evaporated in vacuum systems to create thin films for optoelectronic devices and light-dependent resistors.

CdS quantum dots are synthesized for use in biological imaging and next-generation LED displays due to their size-tunable fluorescence.
