Diamond on Silicon Wafers

Goodfellow has announced the addition of diamond on silicon (DoSi) electronics-grade wafers to its extensive line of metals and materials for research and product design. The wafers, manufactured by Advanced Diamond Technologies (ADT) and coated with ADT's unique Ultrananocrystalline Diamond™ (UNCD) films, are available from Goodfellow in small quantities. UNCD is a family of diamond materials that capture the hardness and other extreme properties of natural diamond, but with a mirror smooth surface that allows for outstanding control of surface properties. Mechanical and electrical properties of the UNCD film can be tailored to suit specific applications. UNCD films are the only phase-pure nanocrystalline diamond films in the world. DoSi wafers are available in 100, 150, and 200 mm standard sizes, although other sizes can be produced as required . Applications include the manufacture of MEMS devices made of diamond, as x-ray windows, as platforms for biosensors, as wear-resistant and non-stick coatings, and as cold cathode electron sources for display applications.
