High-Purity Germanium Ingot
A cylindrical unwrought germanium ingot with purity exceeding 99.99%, used primarily in semiconductor manufacturing for producing high-performance infrared optics and transistors. It falls under HTS 8112.92.65.00 as unwrought germanium, excluding refined forms like powders or specific alloys. This classification covers raw germanium metal in ingot form suitable for further processing.
Polycrystalline Germanium Bar
An unwrought bar of polycrystalline germanium metal, typically 99.999% pure, serving as raw material for fiber optic preforms and detector production. Classified under HTS 8112.92.65.00 as other unwrought germanium, distinct from powders or scrap. Its irregular shape qualifies it as unwrought for downstream fabrication.
Germanium Metal Scrap
Recycled germanium scrap from manufacturing trimmings and rejects, containing at least 50% germanium content, used for remelting into new ingots. It qualifies under HTS 8112.92.65.00 as germanium waste and scrap, separate from clean unwrought metal. This supports the circular economy in semiconductor production.
Zone-Refined Germanium Rod
A high-purity germanium rod produced via zone refining, with impurity levels below 1 ppb, ideal for substrate material in electronics. Falls under HTS 8112.92.65.00 as other unwrought germanium, as it remains in basic rod form prior to slicing. This process enhances its use in sensitive optoelectronic applications.
Germanium Evaporation Pellet
Small, unwrought pellets of high-purity germanium designed for vacuum evaporation in thin-film deposition processes. Classified under HTS 8112.92.65.00 as other unwrought germanium, not qualifying as powder due to larger size. Essential for coating optical components and solar cells.
Unwrought Germanium Chunk
Irregular chunks of refined germanium metal from electrolysis, purity around 99.99%, used directly for alloying or remelting. Under HTS 8112.92.65.00 as other unwrought germanium, encompassing non-standard shapes. Provides cost-effective raw material for advanced materials research.
