Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) crystals grown using the High Pressure Bridgman (HPB) technique were used to fabricate solid-state radiation detectors measuring 10 x 10 x 2 mm{sup 3}. Sputtered platinum and gold contacts were applied to polished detector blanks. Voltage versus current characteristics were determined for the devices at 25 C. Pulse height spectra were obtained using {sup 241}Am and {sup 109}Cd at both 25 C and 150 C with applied bias of 9,000 V/cm. Current versus temperature was measured over the temperature range of 30 C to 150 C. Performance was measured at energies of 22.1 and 59.5 keV over a temperature range of {minus}70 C to 170 C. Current versus dose rate was measured with 662 keV gamma irradiation. A value of the Mobility-Lifetime product ({mu}{tau}) for electrons was estimated. Time and temperature dependence of photo-peak position using Pulse Height Analysis (PHA) was studied.
