Mercury cadmium telluride (also cadmium mercury telluride, MCT, MerCad Telluride, MerCadTel, MerCaT or CMT) is a chemical compound of cadmium telluride (CdTe) and mercury telluride (HgTe) with a tunable bandgap spanning the shortwave infrared to the very long wave infrared regions. The amount of cadmium (Cd) in the alloy can be chosen so as to tune the optical absorption of the material to the desired infrared wavelength. CdTe is a semiconductor with a bandgap of approximately 1.5 electronvolts (eV) at room temperature. HgTe is a semimetal, which means that its bandgap energy is zero. Mixing these two substances allows one to obtain any bandgap between 0 and 1.5 eV. MCT detectors offer the highest sensitivity of all IR detectors in the range of 2 – 25 microns. These detectors can be offered either TE, liquid nitrogen, or cooled with a Stirling motor.
The demand for advanced military and defense equipment is a major driver of the infrared detector market. Infrared detectors are essential in various defense applications, including surveillance, target acquisition, navigation, and missile guidance. They enable armed forces to operate effectively in diverse environments, especially in low-visibility conditions. The ongoing investments in defense modernization and the development of sophisticated military technologies are boosting the demand for high-performance infrared detectors. Enhanced situational awareness and operational capabilities provided by these detectors are crucial for modern military operations.
