Germanium

Germanium is extracted from germanium bearing zinc ores or from certain coal ores, collecting the flue dusts after the burning process. It can occasionally be found in copper ores. We refine germanium at our facility in the USA.

In addition to refined germanium, Indium Corporation sells germanium compounds, such as germanium tetrachloride and germanium oxide. Please contact us for more information about germanium metals and compounds.

NanoBond® is a Fluxless Process

Thursday, May 16, 2013 by Jim Hisert [view bio]

Fluxes are an interesting element of working with many solder applications. With so many specialized fluxes there is usually a perfectly-tailored flux for removing oxides from any solderable surface. Even though we love fluxes at Indium Corporation – not all of our customers share that same affection. It…

The Right Climate Stuff Research Team Hits the Mark

Tuesday, May 14, 2013 by Dr. Ron Lasky [view bio]

Folks, Many agree that the greatest technical achievement of human kind was landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to earth. (Just think about the fact that all of this was done with less computing power than your smartphone!).  Some of the folks involved in this effort  joined…

High Temperature (Braze Alloy) Sputtering Target Bonding, with NanoFoil®

Tuesday, May 14, 2013 by Jim Hisert [view bio]

In an earlier post I mentioned one of the presentations we gave at the 2013 SVC TechCon. The other presentation that our team delivered at the show (presented by Jacques Mateau) regarded another very interesting topic. The paper, High Temperature, Pb-Free, Metallic Sputtering Target Bonding…
