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).

No, the organic germanium compound Ge-132 (germanium sesquioxide) is used as a dietary supplement and in some alternative medicine practices. Germanium diodes, on the other hand, typically use inorganic germanium semiconductors for their electronic properties in devices like radios and amplifiers.
