germanium

Titan and Teck are partnering to explore recovering approximately 13,000 kg/year of germanium from zinc mine waste. This collaboration targets germanium, a critical semiconductor material, addressing supply chain concerns through waste stream recovery.

Lattice Materials broke ground on an 80,000-square-foot facility in Montana for silicon and germanium production. This domestic facility represents a significant milestone in building next-generation photonics capabilities within the United States supply chain.
