Conclusions

  1. 1.

    We studied the microhardness of antimony-doped germanium as a function of the impurity concentration and the temperature.

  2. 2.

    We detected and studied changes in the microhardness of germanium samples having various impurities caused by the introduction of oxygen and hydrogen.

  3. 3.

    We conclude from these results that the changes in the germanium microhardness caused by the penetration of oxygen and hydrogen result from changes in the composition and properties of the surface oxide film.
