Cadmium telluride (CdTe) primarily forms ionic bonds. Cadmium atoms contribute positively charged ions (Cd^2+) while tellurium atoms contribute negatively charged ions (Te^2-), resulting in a strong ionic bond between the two elements.

The Maximum spectral response of the germanium and silicon is in the X-ray region?

The maximum spectral response of germanium and silicon is in the infrared region, not the X-ray region. Both materials are commonly used in infrared sensing applications due to their sensitivity in this range of the electromagnetic spectrum. X-rays are typically detected using materials such as cadmium telluride or mercury cadmium telluride.


How is the solar cell made?

Photovoltaic cell, or solar cell, is a thin and small semiconductor device, usually made from silicon, which converts light, e.g., sunlight, into electricity.The basic component of solar cells are pure silicon or crystalline compounds: Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) and Cadmium Sulfide. Cadmium Telluride is formed from cadmium and tellurium with a zinc blende. Cadmium Sulfide exists in nature as two different minerals, greenockite and hawlevite. Pure silicon, which is not pure in its natural state, is derived from such silicon dioxides as quartzite gravel or crushed quartz. These basic materials undergo chemical, thermal, and mechanical treatments to produce an excess of electrons and a deficiency of electrons respectively to make a semiconductor capable of conducting electricity. Pure silicon, for example, is treated with phosphorus and boron for this purpose.
