The global demand for Germanium Substrate Market is presumed to reach the market size of nearly USD XX MN by 2028 from USD XX MN in 2021 with a CAGR of XX% under the study period 2022 - 2028.
Germanium refers to a chemical element with an atomic number is 32, and its symbol is Ge. It is a hard-brittle, lustrous, grayish-white metalloid in the carbon group, chemically similar to its group neighbors silicon and tin. Pure germanium is a semiconductor, and its appearance is the same as elemental silicon. Germanium reacts and forms complexes with oxygen like silicon in nature. Germanium substrates are mainly used in highly efficient triple-junction solar cells for the space applications as the epitaxial growth substrate. Germanium substrate is utilized in several industrial processes, as refrigerant and fertilizer. Germanium has long been a known material for integrated circuits. It has great potential as a substrate that leads next-generation multi-junction solar cells.
