Rosatom Develops Domestic High-Purity Germanium Technology, Closing Import Gap
The experimental technology, developed by Russia's Giredmet Institute (Rosatom), produces high‑purity germanium (HPGe) crystals.
Purity reaches at least 7N (99.99999%) — detector‑grade quality
The process combines zone refining in a controlled atmosphere with silicon/nitrogen getters and special C‑C and C‑Si coatings
It enables full‑cycle domestic production of HPGe crystals for gamma and X‑ray spectrometers
Critical applications include nuclear physics, medicine, defense, radiation monitoring, dosimetry, customs control, and IR optics
The next step is a pilot production facility to supply Russian spectrometer manufacturers.
