· Ge0.4Si0.6

Ge₀.₄Si₀.₆ is a silicon-germanium alloy semiconductor combining 40% germanium and 60% silicon, engineered to tune the bandgap and lattice properties between pure silicon and germanium. This compound is primarily investigated for high-speed optoelectronic and thermoelectric applications where the intermediate bandgap offers advantages over single-element semiconductors, and for heterojunction structures in advanced integrated circuits where lattice engineering enables performance beyond conventional silicon CMOS.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
