Germanium is a chemical element; it has symbol Ge and atomic number 32. It is lustrous, hard-brittle, grayish-white and similar in appearance to silicon. It is a metalloid (more rarely considered a metal) in the carbon group that is chemically similar to its group neighbors silicon and tin. Like silicon, germanium naturally reacts and forms ...
Spot prices of germanium ingot have jumped nearly a third in the past month to an all-time high of 13,250 yuan ($1,826.48) a kilogram (kg) on Wednesday, data from information pr

Following are responses from some companies to the announcement of curbs from Aug. 1 on Chinese gallium and germanium exports. * A spokesperson for the Semiconductor Equipment Association of Japan ...
Silicon–germanium. SiGe (/ ˈsɪɡiː / or / ˈsaɪdʒiː /), or silicon–germanium, is an alloy with any molar ratio of silicon and germanium, i.e. with a molecular formula of the form Si 1−x Ge x. It is commonly used as a semiconductor material in integrated circuits (ICs) for heterojunction bipolar transistors or as a strain -inducing ...
Semiconductor detector. A semiconductor detector in ionizing radiation detection physics is a device that uses a semiconductor (usually silicon or germanium) to measure the effect of incident charged particles or photons. Semiconductor detectors find broad application for radiation protection, gamma and X-ray spectrometry, and as particle ...
The present and future of Wolfspeed, the fast-growing semiconductor chipmaker in Durham, are closely linked to China. The company, which produces semiconductors to power appliances like electric ...
Such properties have made SiGe thermoelectrics convenient for power generation in space. The multifoil cold stack assembly, composed of molybdenum, tungsten, stainless steel, copper, and alumina materials, provides the insulation between the electrical and thermal currents of the system.
