Composition of molecular impurities in high-pure germane

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The impurity composition of germane has been studied by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. We have determined permanent gases, C1–C9 hydrocarbons, fluorine- and chlorine-containing and aromatic hydrocarbons, ethers, hydrogen sulfide, germane homologs, alkyl derivatives of germane, and chlorogermane. The content of some impurities in high-pure germane is 2 × 10–6 to 1 × 10–3 vol %. The detection limits for impurities lie in the range 4 × 10–8 to 5 × 10–5 vol %.
