Germanium(Ge) Wafer
Germanium wafer refers to a thin slice or substrate made from the element Germanium (Ge). Germanium is a semiconductor material, meaning it has electrical properties that fall between those of conductors and insulators.
Germanium wafers are used in a variety of electronic devices, including transistors, solar cells, and infrared detectors. They are preferred for these applications due to their ability to conduct electricity and their optical properties, which make them useful for infrared applications. Germanium is also used as a substrate for growing other semiconductor materials, such as gallium arsenide, which is used in high-speed electronic devices.
