Abstract

A process for the manufacture of a germanium crystal rectifier involves the heating of "pure" germanium in an atmosphere of ammonia with measures to prevent the acidization of the germanium during heating. The heating may be carried out in an atmosphere substantially free of oxygen, and in which some hydrogen is present, and may comprise the steps of firstly heating for a time at a temperature between 400 DEG C. and 800 DEG C, and then for a time between 800 DEG C. and 1,200 DEG C. Alternatively, the heating may be gradual to a temperature above 800 DEG C. and then maintained thereat for a period, or heating may take place in a vacuum until the germanium is molten, and gaseous ammonia then introduced.
