Abstract

The qualitative germanium fibres in glass isolation adequate for practical application have been prepared. Their microstructure (micrograininess, dislocation density), electrical parameters (conductivity and specific resistance) and mechanical properties (microhardness, tensile strength, bending critical radius) have been studied. A special techniques for the fabrication of microelectrodes ensuring qualitative microcontact with biological objects to be applied in devices at biomedical investigations has been elaborated.
