CVD Diamond
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) diamond is manufactured by means of a diamond synthesis technology in which a low pressure reactor is used to combine a thermal or plasma activating agent with a gas-phase carbon to produce a chemical reaction which results in polycrystalline diamond crystal growth or deposition upon a solid surface or substrate.
Although not a new concept (CVD diamond synthesis was first introduced by scientists over 50 years ago) it is only within the last decade that CVD diamond synthesis has shown its potential to become a commercially and economically viable alternative to natural diamond in the workplace, able to be grown in a controlled environment to desired thicknesses of up to ~2mm. CVD diamond wafers can also be cut into a variety of shapes and polished to achieve mirror-like finishes if required.
CVD Diamond Grades & Applications
- Optical Grade CVD Diamond – High purity & transparency (transmission 65% @ 8-10µm).
- Thermal Grade CVD Diamond – High hardness & thermal conductivity (>12W/cmK).
- Heat Spreader
- IC (Integrated Circuit)
- LD (Laser Diode)
- LDA (Laser Diode Array) for thermal management
- Mechanical Grade CVD Diamond – High hardness, good tensile strength & fracture toughness.
- Dressing Tools – Single & multipoint dressers; grinding wheel dressers.
- Cutting Tools - Surgical knives; cutting tool inserts; drill bits; reamers etc.
- Wear Resistant Coatings – Non-ferrous, plastic and composite materials.
- Wire Dies – Wire die blanks for hard metal wire e.g. tungsten, molybdenum & stainless steel.
