Synthetic Diamonds are used in giant Drills...
Japan is Creating a $6 million per year Commitment to develop this
Diamond Microchip
technology.
Apparently Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) recently
demonstrated a newly devised chip which operates at over 80
GHz.
Diamond
Microchips will advance computer technology in
general will so we could start seeing diamond microchips in many
new sectors of Technology.

With Moore's Law, the number of transistors in a microchip doubles
every 18 to 24 months. Moore's Law cannot be maintained
indefinitely in silicon because the Heat Density has risen to
critical levels for this technology.

The rising heat generated by miniaturisation has reached critical
limits. Today's fastest smallest chips can reach over 220°
Fahrenheit; above this temperature the failure rate rises
exponentially. As silicon micro-circuits decrease in size and their
supply voltage grows smaller the energy generated by thermal noise
interferes with electrical signals, increasing computing errors.
Diamond Microchips provide a possible new direction and in that,
hope for keeping the Moore's Law inertia of silicon's past
successful technological evolution.


Diamond
Microchips offer a solution, being made from materials that are
much more heat resistant than that of conventional
semiconductors.
One material under test is diamond, a form of pure carbon.
Not only is it the hardest known substance, diamond also has the
highest heat conductivity; it's not even damaged with temperatures
that would fry silicon. Natural diamonds are too expensive for
these applications. Two companies however, have already perfected
two different strategies for creating cheaper and better diamonds
in the lab.

Gemesis Synthetic HPHT Labratory Made Real Diamonds

Apollo Synthetic CVD Labratory Made Real Diamonds

Gemesis simulates the conditions which make natural diamonds deep
underground. Using a Russia technique, a seed diamond is placed at
one end of a high temperatue/pressure growth chamber, while
graphite is placed at the other end. This process uses metal
solvents in between. The chamber is compressed within a spherical
apparatus reaching a pressure of about 60,000 atmospheres. electric
currents heat the graphite making atomization to complete this
approach. The carbon atoms migrate toward the cooler end of the
chamber. They align and bond naturally to the diamond crystal seed
energy field. In about 3 days usually a half carat diamond or more
emerges.
Apollo Diamond, perhaps, uses a CVD plasma condensate of
predominately carbon, methane, and hydrogen in forming the pure
diamond end product. Success requires that gaseous precursors
containing C and CH4 species are delivered to the reactor, below,
using a carrier gas; usually hydrogen. In the reactor, these gases break
down into their constituent species and saturate at the surface of
the diamond seeds where it is energetically favorable for them to
bond to the pure crystalline lattice surfaces. CVD is a very
versatile and controllable technique in that dopant atoms,
such as nitrogen, aluminum, and boron my be introduced into the
system in the form of additional gasses.
(in the case of micro-electronics devices research)


The chemical vapor deposition at Apollo Diamond is a unique
approach; (CVD) that's called chemical
vapor deposition, uses condensation of free radical carbon
gas migration to assemble its Diamond wafers. Seeds are placed in a
low-pressure chamber filled with methane, hydrogen and proprietary
gases, which ionize into a plasma. The carbon atoms then
precipitate out of the plasma cloud. They attach in a crystaline
ordered manner upon the wafer seeds. Layer upon layer are added to
these diamond seeds at a rate of half a millimeter in 24 hours.
This method, is more than 10 years old and has been used to coat
surfaces with microscopic diamond crystals.

Because of these advances, the projected cost of cultured diamonds
is under $10 per carat; costs are no longer blocking progress
toward success in Diamond Microchip production This IS the advent of Diamond Microchips. Additionionally, the
crystal structure of these man-made Diamonds exhibit more
perfection than natural stones. this makes them
better suited for cpu chip sized applications.

Boron is being utilized to produce both the N-type an P-type
doppant for these diamond Microchip substrate semiconductor
miracles.
These technolgies appear to be breathing new life into Moore's
Law
Extention!

^Why are Smaller Microchips Cheaper to Make?^
Synthetic-diamond makers received good news in January when
(Published: February 14, 2007, 3:19 PM PST)
the Gemological Institute of America (An organization that invented
the color, cut, clarity and carat diamond standards 50 years over
ago)
began grading the quality of lab-grown
diamonds.

Go to above picture to see the 3D structural atomic diamond carbon
bonding diagram.
Notice the similarity to bees
choice of their evolved hive geometry.

To further increase the size of the crystals, the Carnegie
researchers grew gem-quality diamonds sequentially on the 6 faces
of a substrate diamond plate with the CVD process. By this method,
three-dimensional growth of colorless single-crystal diamond in the
inch-range (300 carat) is achievable!
