Germanium

 

Germanium isotopes have many microelectronic applications, especially Germanium enriched in isotope 72. In the future, Germanium depleted of germanium-73 may be a great material to manufacture qubits while minimizing the loss of quantum coherence.

Germanium 76 is used for fundamental research for experiments on neutrinoless double beta decay.

 

The Solution

With its gas centrifugation isotope separation process, using state-of-the-art centrifuges, Orano Stable Isotopes is able to enrich germanium in any of its 5 natural isotopes (70, 72, 73, 74 and 76). Orano offers a reliable, proven and efficient solution for isotopic separation of germanium. Orano can also connect its customers with experienced industrial partners for conversion of germanium tetrafluoride (GeF4) into germane (GeH4).
