How is Indium telluride (CAS: 1312-45-4) typically synthesized?

Indium telluride can be synthesized by solid-state reaction or by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The solid-state method involves the heating of indium and tellurium powders to form the compound. CVD involves the reaction of indium and tellurium compounds in a gas phase under controlled conditions to deposit Indium telluride films. Both methods require precise control of temperature and atmosphere to achieve high yield and selectivity.
