Is the organic germanium Sesquioxide Ge-132 the same that's used in diodes?
No, ultrapure elemental germanium (with very tiny amounts of dopant impurities added) is used in electronics devices. Never germanium compounds, organic or inorganic. However the germanium in the compound is the same element, but could not be used in electronic devices unless separated and purified (which destroys the compound).
Is silicon and germanium used in electronics as semiconductors?
Yes
