Natural diamond has long been coveted for its extreme properties.  In thin film form, however, capturing these properties reliably and economically has been in general a disappointment—until now.

Thin film diamond has graduated from the laboratory to become a genuine industrial material whose properties and performance characteristics can be characterized and reproduced.  What is not widely understood is that the properties of these films can be tuned over a very broad range. Thus, like steel or aluminum alloys which are optimized for particular applications, so too can the properties of thin film diamond be adjusted in a controllable and reproducible manner.

UNCD® developed by ADT allows for the realization of many different types of diamond films that capture different subsets of properties of diamond, allowing ADT the unique ability to tailor UNCD for a broad range of applications. For instance, rough diamond films that have been available for years are extremely abrasive, and thus useful for cutting applications. However, UNCD allows for the roughness of the films to be controllably varied enabling films that are extremely smooth and exhibit very low friction yet retain the extreme wear resistance of natural diamond. In a similar manner the thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and optical properties can be varied over many orders of magnitude. Thus films that are highly electrically conducting at room temperature can have either high or low thermal conductivity and can also be made optically more or less transparent.

ADT’s UNCD Aqua Series™ is the first family of diamond thin films to be brought to the marketplace that spans a range of film properties that makes each one suitable to a particular application. All of the UNCD Aqua varieties are smooth enough to exhibit low friction in most applications, yet vary considerably in thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and optical transparency.
