Chemical vapor deposition of diamond - a long strip of CVD

Diamond, also known as diamond, is allotrope of carbon, it belongs to the cubic system, having a face-centered cubic structure, typical of atomic crystals. Diamond has many unique excellent properties, mechanical properties, thermal properties, transparency, longitudinal wave velocity, semiconductor properties and chemical inertness, etc., in nature all the materials are second to none. For example: the hardness of diamond is the nature of the highest hardness and thermal conductivity is the highest known materials (thermal conductivity of copper is 5 times), high insulation resistance and from the infrared to the ultraviolet light transmittance ...... extremely wide. Due to the nature reserves of rare diamonds, and mining it is very difficult, and therefore expensive, and whether natural diamond or HPHT synthetic diamond is synthesized at discrete granular, application to be greatly restricted. In recent years, the developed countries for chemical vapor deposition (referred to as CVD) Preparation and application of research and development of diamond film made significant investments. Because CVD diamond manufacturing low cost, large area, curving, and its thickness may need up to a few millimeters from less 1Λm and CVD diamond films prepared by physical and natural diamond is basically the same, or nearly identical chemical properties, make application areas of diamond greatly expanded.
