Icon Germanium ingots

Germanium ingots

Ingots offer a compact, easily storable form with high purity. Germanium ingots are preferred for use in electronics, optics and special alloys and are suitable for processes that require defined quantities of material.

Granules in various grain sizes allow precise dosing and homogeneous melting processes. Germanium granules are used in glass fiber production, electronics manufacturing and in alloying and melting processes.

powder enables fine distribution in coatings, additive processes and research applications. Germanium powder is typically used in thin-film technologies, semiconductor processes and chemical syntheses.

Germanium dioxide serves as an important precursor for glass fibers, high-quality optics and catalysts. It is essential for applications that require high transparency or precise chemical properties.

Common purities of germanium for industrial use

Germanium 6N (99.9999 %)

Germanium with a purity of 6N is ideal for high-precision semiconductors, radiation detectors and sophisticated IR optics. Minimal impurities enable precise electrical and optical properties.

Germanium 5N (99.999 %, 50 Ohm-cm @ 20 °C)

5N germanium with a defined specific resistance is used for electronics, sensors, detectors and special photovoltaic processes that require controlled conductivity.

Germanium 4N5 (99.995 %)

4N5 offers an economical, yet very pure solution. It is widely used in glass fibers, infrared optics, alloys and industrial precision processes.

Germanium 4N (99.99 %)

The 4N purity is the industry standard for glass additives, catalysis, alloys and chemical processing. It is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
