<sup>72</sup>Ge in the form of Germanium Tetrafluoride Gas GeF4

72Ge in the form of Germanium Tetrafluoride Gas GeF4

Germanium isotopes

Enriched Germanium Tetrafluoride gas is used as preamorphic implant to prevent silicon wafer from implant dopant channeling. Furthermore, it is used to strain silicon wafer which optimizes the performance and speed of the device.
