0 a chemical element with unusual electrical characteristics that allow it to be used in semiconductors --
Arsenic, as mentioned above, is often used in semiconductors in alloys with germanium.
Germanium metal (isolated germanium) is used as a semiconductor in transistors and various other electronic devices.
The 608 contained more than 3,000 germanium transistors.
The first one is germanium in transistors.
This is made feasible largely, of course, by the new germanium rectifier, which is one of the important developments recently introduced, showing how much science and engineering co-operate together.
From where can we get germanium?
Imagine what we can do with germanium in transistors.
I cannot say precisely what is the total of resources and staff which is at present engaged on increasing our supply of germanium.
