Germane Uses

  Germane (CAS NO.7782-65-2) is used in the semiconductor industry for the epitaxial growth of germanium by MOVPE or chemical beam epitaxy.[5] Organogermanium precursors (e.g. isobutylgermane, alkylgermanium trichlorides, and dimethylaminogermanium trichloride) have been examined as less hazardous liquid alternatives to germane for deposition of Ge-containing films by MOVPE.[6]

Germane Production

 A typical synthesis involved the reaction of Na2GeO3 with sodium borohydride.
 Na2GeO3 + NaBH4 + H2O → GeH4 + 2 NaOH + NaBO2
