Getting Higher Performance from Semiconductors Using Diamonds

This article from Element Six discusses their collaboration with the University of Bristol to advance semiconductor solutions using diamonds.

That was interesting. Looks like they are trying to use these planar diamonds to control thermal effects in many high temperature electronics. Still early in their ability to do this. I look forward to seeing what they are able to do in the future. Still reminds me of the diamond powder I used in my heat sink compounds 10 years ago.

Yes! One of the reasons diamonds are called ice is that if you put a fairly large diamond in your mouth it stays cold there. It actually pulls heat out of you.

Wow, my whole life I thought they called them ice is strictly because they look like ice.

Yep. What you did was a polycrystalline method. Now imagine the efficiency and effectiveness of a monocrystalline substrate. The benefits of being able to achieve this in electronics is too great for them not to keep pushing at them. It’s between these and graphene and I feel we are going to breakthrough on diamond substrates before we do graphene.
