Goodfellow has announced the addition of diamond on silicon 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), are available from Goodfellow in small quantities.
UNCD is a family of diamond materials that have the hardness and other extreme properties of natural diamond, but with a mirror smooth surface that allows for outstanding control of surface properties.
The mechanical and electrical properties of UNCD films can be tailored to suit specific applications.
UNCD is the only phase-pure nanocrystalline diamond film in the world.
ADT's DoSi (diamond on silicon) wafers are available in 100, 150, and 200mm 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.
