sp3 Diamond Technologies

Technologies and services

sp3 Diamond Technologies is focused on the development of diamond deposition techniques using CVD and dc torch reactors, and the application of diamond coatings and free-standing diamond to a broad range of industrial uses. Examples include custom cutting tools, dresser bars, heat spreaders, and silicon wafers up to 300mm diameter.

sp3 also supplies hot-filament CVD reactors for research and production applications.

Free-standing diamond industrial products

sp3 manufactures heat spreaders for thermal management of electronic components and dresser bars (grinding logs) for dressing abrasive materials. Click on pictures for more information.		    

Diamond-on silicon

Using hot-filament CVD deposition, sp3 applies highly uniform diamond films to silicon wafers and other silicon substrates. Click on picture for details on wafer deposition.
