The layers are grown by using the halide-free triethylamine dimethylzinc adduct and di-isopropyl telluride as zinc and tellurium precursors, respectively. A detailed analysis of the residual strain is offered as a function of layer thickness and substrate nature via reflectivity measurements performed at pumped liquid helium temperature. This is completed by an extensive analysis of near-band-edge photoluminescence spectra in order to discriminate the contribution of residual impurities. Using these precursors ZnTe layers with extremely low contamination rates are obtained. %G English %L hal-00547284 %U https://hal.science/hal-00547284 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ GES %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM1-UM2
