Summary Like silicon germanium is a semiconductor but it lost out to silicon for computer chips in the 1970s due to cost. Today it is used primarily in optical fibers which are much less expensive that copper wire. Maxim dissolves germanium in sodium hydroxide to produce sodium germinate which is used to produce bismuth germanate used as a scintillation detector in particle physics.
