The future of advanced electronics is characterized by a constant search for new materials that could conduct electrons faster and in a greater quantity than silicon and other conventional materials. In this regard, thin layers of germanium crystals are being developed by researchers worldwide as a key component for devices, such as, flexible electronics, and large-scale integrated circuits. However, the conventional methods of production require high temperatures or other crystals to act as seeds for growing the germanium crystals. With the increasing cost of and the concern for providing environment friendly manufacturing, finding a pragmatic and commercially sustainable method of producing the germanium film is still a challenge for the electronics industry.
