Q1: What is the CAS Number for CdSe?
A: The CAS Registry Number for cadmium selenide is 1306-23-6.
Q2: Is this substrate suitable for aqueous processing or wet chemical etching?
A: No — CdSe is susceptible to oxidation and dissolution in acidic or oxidizing aqueous environments. Processing requires inert atmosphere, anhydrous solvents, or plasma-based dry etching only.
Q3: How does this CdSe substrate compare to GaAs or Si in terms of lattice matching for epitaxy?
A: CdSe has a lattice constant of a = 4.30 Å, c = 7.01 Å (wurtzite), offering better match to other II–VI compounds (e.g., ZnSe, CdTe) than to III–V or elemental semiconductors. It is not lattice-matched to GaAs (a = 5.65 Å) or Si (a = 5.43 Å), requiring buffer layers or strain-engineered templates.
Q4: Does this product comply with EU SCIP database requirements for articles containing SVHCs?
A: Yes — as a homogeneous material containing cadmium (SVHC candidate), full SCIP submission documentation is provided with commercial orders per Article 9 of EU REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.
Q5: Can Cd or Se leach into adjacent thin films during high-temperature annealing?
A: Minimal interdiffusion occurs below 550 °C in sealed UHV or high-purity N₂ environments. For temperatures > 550 °C, diffusion barriers (e.g., thin ZnS or AlN capping layers) are recommended to suppress elemental migration.
