Product Overview
Germanium ingots are light gray semi-metal materials with distinct semiconductor characteristics and excellent optical properties. With a crystal structure similar to diamond, germanium is hard and brittle, exhibiting electrical conductivity between metals and non-metals. It serves as a foundational material in the modern semiconductor industry. Germanium ingots are produced through the reduction and smelting of high-purity germanium oxide, making them indispensable in electronics and optics.
