MWCVD Technology:
The Key to Synthesizing High-Quality Diamonds
Microwave Plasma CVD (MWCVD) technology is an advanced process for synthesizing diamond materials with outstanding properties. iplas uses this innovative technology in its systems and as part of its fabless manufacturing to offer you the highest quality and flexibility.
The Principle of Microwave Plasma CVD
in Detail
MWCVD is a variant of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) that uses microwaves to create a plasma from reactive gases. Typical source gases are methane (carbon source) and hydrogen. The plasma provides the energy to break down these gases and create reactive species that react on the surface of a substrate, forming a diamond layer. The substrate temperature and gas pressure are crucial process parameters.
Why MWCVD Is the Ideal Choice for Diamond Synthesis:
- High Purity: Enables the synthesis of diamond materials with low impurities.
- Precise Control: Provides accurate control of process parameters to specifically influence diamond properties (e.g., crystal quality, doping).
- Versatility: Suitable for the synthesis of various diamond forms (single-crystal, polycrystalline, nanocrystalline) and for coatings on different substrates.
- High Growth Rates: Enables efficient production in many application areas.
- Homogeneous Coatings: Ensure a uniform layer thickness and quality over large areas.
