No. Germanium is called either a metalloid or a semimetal, because it ha some but not all of the properties of the metals.
Germanium is a metalloid.
Germanium is neither. It is a metalliod, because it has some properties of a metal and some properties of a nonmetal. However, the substance of germanium is a metal.
Germanium has been said by many to be a metal, but it is only carrying characteristics of a metal so it can be called a semi-metal. Despite this Germanium is most usually classed as a metalloid.
Germanium is classified as a metallic element (some sources list it as semi-metallic)

No metal is semiconductor. By definition metal is conductor. There are metalloids elements. Like silicon and germanium. They are semiconductors. There is no hard and fast definition of such elements.
Germanium has properties of both metal and non-metal. Hence it is considered to be metalloid.
Antimony, germanium
Germanium is a metal that does conduct heat, but does not conduct heat as well as other metals. This makes it a semiconductor.
