CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) Diamond
Inquiry
CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) diamond: The mixture of carbon-containing gas (such as methane) and hydrogen is decomposed under high temperature and below standard atmosphere pressure to form plasma carbon atoms, which are deposited on the matrix and grow into polycrystalline diamond (or single crystal or quasi single crystal by controlling the deposition growth conditions).
CVD diamond is widely used in heat dissipation equipment of high power density electronic equipment, high-precision cutting tools, high-efficiency grinding wheel dressing tools and wear-resisting equipment. Because CVD diamond does not contain any metallic and nonmetallic bonds, most of its properties are similar or identical single crystal diamonds.
CVD Technical features
- Synthesis of high melting point materials at low temperature
- There are single crystal, polycrystal, powder, film and other precipitation forms
- It can be coated not only on the substrate, but also on the powder surface
Characteristics of CVD diamond
- High hardness and wear resistance
- Low deposition temperature
- Film composition is easy to control
- Good uniformity and repeatability
- High thermal conductivity
- Good thermal stability and long service life
