Description:
Germanium is a brittle grayish-white semi-metallic element. It is not found naturally on Earth in its native state due to its high reactivity. However, Germanium can be commercially obtained from zinc ores, certain coals, argyrodite, and germanite. It is used as a semiconductor in transistors, solar cells, and optical-related materials.
High-purity evaporation materials play a huge role in deposition processes to ensure high-quality deposited film. Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) specializes in producing up to 99.999% purity germanium evaporation materials using quality assurance processes to guarantee product reliability.
