This paper reviews the most important properties of germanium, gives an insight into the
newer techniques and technology for the growth of epitaxial Ge thin layers and focuses on …

Poly-crystalline germanium (poly-Ge) thin films have potential for lowering the
manufacturing cost of photovoltaic devices especially in tandem solar cells, but high …

Though germanium (Ge) shares many similar physical properties with silicon (Si), it also
possesses unique characteristics that are complementary to those of Si. The advantages of …

The deposition of thin germanium films by atmospheric pressure metal organic chemical
vapor deposition at temperatures below 400° C on substrates such as silicon wafers, float …

We previously described a two-laser ion trap mass spectrometer for molecular surface
analysis of organic, biological, and polymeric surfaces (Kornienko, O.; et al. Anal. Chem …

Methanol is a renewable, low-carbon chemical that can be obtained from biomass. GeO2 is
the main source for producing Ge, which is an important semiconductor. The current study …

Supercritical carbon dioxide as the development medium for patterning fluorocarbon films
deposited by hot‐filament CVD is described. This study is intended to merge the role of …

Polycrystalline Ge thin films have been grown by MOCVD in an atmospheric laminar flow
reactor using GeEt4 as precursor. Hydrogen is required to remove the carbon contamination …

We report on the synthesis of Cu3Ge films by exposing Cu films to germane (GeH4). The
process window was established by investigating the influence of the GeH4 partial pressure …

The communications bottleneck is identified as one of the grand challenges in the progress
of silicon computation. While individual logic elements have become significantly faster …
