Product Code : ME-Ge-5N-SP
Germanium is mainly a byproduct of zinc ore processing. It is a hard, grayish-white element; it has a metallic luster and the same crystal structure as diamond; and it is brittle, like glass.
ATT specializes in producing Germanium as rolled sheets in various thicknesses and sizes. Most sheets are produced from cast ingots for use in coating and thin film Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) processes including Thermal and Electron Beam (E-Beam) Evaporation, Low Temperature Organic Evaporation, Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), Organometallic and Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) for specific applications such as fuel cells and solar energy. Thickness can range from 0.04" to 0.25" for all metals. Materials are produced using crystallization, solid state and other ultra high purification processes such as sublimation.

Applications of Germanium Sheet
35% for fiber-optics, 30% infrared optics, 15% polymerization catalysts, and 15% electronics and solar electric applications.The remaining 5% went into such uses as phosphors, metallurgy, and chemotherapy.Germanium dioxide is also used in catalysts for polymerization in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET).The high brilliance of this polyester is especially favored for PET bottles marketed in Japan.In the United States, germanium is not used for polymerization catalysts.
Packing of Germanium Sheet
Standard Packing:
Typical bulk packaging includes palletized plastic 5 gallon/25 kg. pails, fiber and steel drums to 1 ton super sacks in full container (FCL) or truck load (T/L) quantities. Research and sample quantities and hygroscopic, oxidizing or other air sensitive materials may be packaged under argon or vacuum. Solutions are packaged in polypropylene, plastic or glass jars up to palletized 440 gallon liquid totes Special package is available on request.
ATTs’Germanium Sheet is carefully handled to minimize damage during storage and transportation and to preserve the quality of our products in their original condition.
