New method enables mass production of flexible diamond membranes

A research team has developed a method for massively producing ultrathin and ultra-flexible diamond membranes.

Ultra-thin diamond wafers for electronics made using sticky tape

Electronics made using diamond-based chips would have many advantages, but have been hard to make – a new technique involving sticky tape could change that

Scotch tape is key to creating thin films of diamond

The sticky stuff helped peel sheets of diamond less than a micrometer thick off silicon wafers, creating membranes useful for electronic devices.

Scalable production of ultraflat and ultraflexible diamond membrane

Diamond is an exceptional material with great potential across various fields owing to its interesting properties1,2. However, despite extensive efforts over the past decades3–5, producing large quantities of desired ultrathin diamond membranes for widespread use remains challenging. Here we demonstrate that edge-exposed exfoliation using sticky tape is a simple, scalable and reliable method for producing ultrathin and transferable polycrystalli…

Ultra-Thin Diamond Wafers for Electronics Created with Adhesive Tape

A groundbreaking advancement in the production of ultra-thin diamond wafers has emerged, potentially revolutionizing diamond-based electronics as a viable alternative to traditional silicon designs. Diamonds possess unique electronic characteristics, serving as effective insulators while allowing electrons with specific energies to traverse with minimal resistance. This capability enables the handling of higher energy levels more efficiently com…
