Germanium Rod - Ø 5mm L 100mm

Details

SKU: 1000117037 Product Code: GE00-RD-000120
Germanium Rod is a high-purity semiconductor form characterized by excellent infrared transparency, high refractive index, and outstanding carrier mobility. Germanium rods are essential precursors for wafer slicing, optical machining, and advanced semiconductor device fabrication. Industries use germanium rods in infrared imaging optics, high-efficiency solar cells, and thermophotovoltaic systems. Specific applications include single-crystal rods optimized for multi-junction solar cells with enhanced open-circuit voltages, rod-like carbon-germanium composites for improved structural and electrical performance, and high-purity rods analyzed for defect control in semiconductor manufacturing. In research, germanium rods are pivotal for exploring strain engineering in photonics, defect characterization in crystalline semiconductors, and the development of alloyed polycrystalline materials for energy conversion technologies. Their structural precision, optical properties, and semiconductor performance make them indispensable in both industrial production and frontier scientific studies.
