TECHNOLOGY METALS
DESCRIPTION
Germanium is a metallic element with high conductivity and thermal conductivity, which makes it an important component in the semiconductor industry. Germanium wafers are thin, circular slices of pure germanium that serve as the foundation for many electronic devices. Because of their ability to improve the performance of semiconductors and other electronic components, these wafers are in high demand.
CHARACTERISTICS
Germanium is known as a brittle, semi-metallic silvery-white metalloid under standard conditions constituting a well-known allotrope called alpha germanium that possesses a metallic luster and a diamond cubic crystal structure.
Germanium is a metalloid that possesses metal and nonmetal properties. It is a good electrical conductor and can also function as a semiconductor. Because of its unique combination of qualities, germanium has become a significant material in electronics. Because of its high melting and boiling points, germanium is suited for high-temperature applications.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Sum of control impurities in Copper Ingot (Mg, Ai, P, Ti, Cr, Mo, Cd) is no more than 0.0001% wt. The purity grade of Copper Ingot is 99.999%wt. It was calculated as difference between 100% and Sum of Impurities. Copper Ingot is radiological safe. The specific natural radioactivity of Copper Ingo is no more than 1.10-11 Ci/g. plumbed by lead “GAC/68”.
The production volume of this type of product is constantly increasing every year, which is explained by the increase in demand.
Dysprosium demand is anticipated to be valued at US$ 5.3 Billion in 2022, forecast to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% to be valued at US$ 8.8 Billion from 2022 to 2032. Due to its dominance as a producer of rare earth elements, Asia Pacific is claimed to be the largest consumer of dysprosium.

China is by far the biggest player in the global supply chain of gallium and germanium. It produces 80% of the world’s gallium and 60% of germanium, according to the Critical Raw Materials Alliance (CRMA) industry body. The materials are “minor metals”, meaning that they are not usually found on their own in nature, and are often the by-product of other processes. Besides the US, both Japan and the Netherlands – which is home to key chip equipment maker ASML – have imposed chip technology export restrictions on China.
