== Deposition of Germanium ==
== Deposition of Germanium ==
Germanium can be deposited by thermal evaporation and e-beam evaporation.
Germanium can be deposited by thermal evaporation, e-beam evaporation, and sputtering.


==Thermal deposition==
==Resistive Thermal evaporation==
* [[/Thermal Ge deposition Wordentec|Thermal deposition of Ge in Wordentec]]


Current process information on Ge thermal evaporation:
* [[/Thermal Ge evaporation Thermal Evaporator|Resistive thermal evaporation of Ge in Thermal Evaporator - Lesker]]
Some very instrument specific deposition parameters for a now-decommissioned tool can be found here: [[/Thermal Ge deposition Wordentec|Thermal deposition of Ge in Wordentec]]
