Diamond is nature's perfect material.
Natural diamonds have been prized through the ages for their scarcity
and extraordinary beauty. Synthetic diamonds have been used for
decades in cutting tools and abrasive applications. But due to
the difficulty of integrating diamond with other materials, it
has been uncommon to find diamond used for anything other than
cutting applications. But a new day has arrived.
Diamond is an engineering material.TM
UNCD® synthesized
in thin film form using a patented process originally developed
at Argonne National
Laboratory, is known for its ability to be integrated with
other materials. Comprised of diamond grains that are 3-5 nm in
diameter—a billion-fold smaller in volume than traditional
diamond films—UNCD has many desirable properties such as
as-deposited smoothness and the ability to be deposited at temperatures
compatible with traditional semiconductor manufacturing processes.
Integrating UNCD into other systems opens up new vistas for diamond
applications heretofore unimagined. The day has arrived when diamond
can be effectively used as an engineering material.
We haven't even scratched the surface.TM
Advanced Diamond Technologies (ADT) offers several families of
high performance products that exploit the unsurpassed properties
of diamond.
