Global germanium market: Advent of artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence refers to stimulation and working of machine/robots similar to humans. Hardware used by the artificial intelligence sector requires semiconductors and other microelectronic components. These are fabricated using materials such as germanium alloys, silicon, electronic gases, and photoresist ancillaries. The demand for materials required for producing artificial intelligence hardware will increase during the forecast period.

“Microprocessors are extensively used in electronic devices and are the most expensive semiconductor components. Only a few selected manufacturers produce and sell microprocessors in the market. The graphics processing unit, central processing unit, programmable field gate, and application-specific IC manufacturing companies are investing heavily in the artificial intelligence sector and focus on introducing new products. Artificial intelligence chipsets will help provide intelligence in conjunction with microprocessors,” says a senior analyst at Technavio for research on metals and minerals.
