Formula: Ge
Form: Sputtering Target
Material: Germanium
CAS Number: 7440-56-4
Commodity: Metals
Purity:
99.999%
Germanium Sputtering Targets are high-purity germanium disks available in 4 variations for customizable diameter, thickness and orientation options to meet different application needs. Ultra-high purity germanium has excellent semiconducting properties ideal for thin film deposition via sputtering. Common applications include manufacturing microelectronics, optical coatings and advanced solar cells, where precise control over germanium film thickness and composition is critical.
