CVD Diamond
CVD Diamond (Chemical Vapor Deposition Diamond)
CVD diamond is a type of synthetic diamond produced using Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), a process that allows diamond to grow layer by layer in a controlled environment. This method produces high-purity, high-quality diamonds suitable for industrial, scientific, and jewelry applications.
Types
-
Monocrystalline CVD Diamond – High purity, excellent thermal and electrical properties, used in electronics and optics.
-
Polycrystalline CVD Diamond – Composed of many small diamond grains, used in cutting tools and coatings.
-
Doped CVD Diamond – Modified with elements like boron (for conductivity), used in sensors and electronics.
Key Properties
✔ Extreme Hardness – Nearly as hard as natural diamond.
✔ High Thermal Conductivity – Excellent heat dissipation, ideal for electronics.
✔ Optical Transparency – Used in laser windows and infrared optics.
✔ Chemical Stability – Resistant to acids and corrosion.
✔ Biocompatibility – Suitable for medical implants and sensors.
Applications of CVD Diamond
- Semiconductors & Electronics – Heat spreaders, transistors, and radiation detectors.
- Cutting & Drilling Tools – High-performance industrial applications.
- Jewelry – High-quality lab-grown diamonds for rings and luxury goods.
- Medical Devices – Biocompatible implants and surgical tools.
- Optics & Lasers – Infrared windows, high-power laser optics.
