Abstract
The paper reviews the progress made in the development of large diameter germanium crystals for gamma-ray spectrometry. These are vacuum pulled and have been shown to be consistently free of oxygen. Planar devices of 40 sq.cm. area and depletion thicknesses of 8 mm have given an energy resolution better than 3.7 KeV at 1.33 MeV. The relationship between detector performance and crystal properties is examined for possible correlation.
