An embodiment relates to a group II-VI semiconductor wafer of a radiation detector, and an embodiment relates to a method for producing same. An embodiment of the present invention provides a group II-VI semiconductor of a radiation detector enabling reduction or restriction of the edge effect (or the end surface effect) and a method for producing same. An embodiment of the present invention provides a radiation detector obtained by half-cutting or full-cutting a group II-VI semiconductor wafer having a zinc blende structure in which the wafer has a {001} plane main surface, and cut planes according to the half-cutting or full-cutting have an angle θ (≠0°) relative to the slip direction of the wafer.
