Synthetic diamond is diamond produced by using chemical or physicalprocesses. Like naturally occurring diamond it is composed of athree-dimensional carbon crystal. Due to its extreme physicalproperties, synthetic diamond is used in many industrialapplications, such as drill bits and scratch-proof coatings, andhas the potential to be used in many new application areas
A brand new title from the respected Wiley Materials forElectronic and Optoelectronic Applications series, this titleis the most up-to-date resource for diamond specialists. Beginningwith an introduction to the properties of diamond, defects,impurities and the growth of CVD diamond with its imminentcommercial impact, the remainder of the book comprises sixsections: introduction, radiation sensors, active electronicdevices, biosensors, MEMs and electrochemistry. Subsequent chapterscover the diverse areas in which diamond applications are having animpact including electronics, sensors and actuators andmedicine.
