Description

Diisopropyltelluride (CAS NO 51112-72-2) is a high-purity organotellurium compound that serves as a critical precursor in advanced materials synthesis. Its primary value lies in its role as a volatile tellurium source for the deposition of high-quality telluride-based semiconductors via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) processes. This product is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the electronics and optoelectronics industries developing cutting-edge thin-film solar cells, infrared detectors, and thermoelectric materials.

Application

• Precursor for the MOCVD and CVD growth of cadmium telluride (CdTe) and mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) thin films for photovoltaic and infrared sensing applications.
• Source material for the synthesis of other organotellurium compounds and catalysts used in organic synthesis.
• Research and development of novel II-VI semiconductor nanomaterials and quantum dots.
• Production of thermoelectric materials based on bismuth telluride (Bi₂Te₃) and related compounds.
• Used in the fabrication of specialized optical components and coatings.

Quality Control

Our Diisopropyltelluride is produced under stringent conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for demanding electronic applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) for trace metal analysis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming specifications for purity, identity, and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to minimize degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
