ELEMEN T SI X LE ADS THE WORLD IN SY N T HE T IC DIAMOND INNOVAT ION Element Six designs and develops advanced solutions, based on synthetic diamond, which open the way to dramatic step changes in process and end-product performance. These sometimes astonishing improvements in performance cannot be realized through the use of any other materials. The company is well established in this field having first invested in CVD technology in 1988 with commercialization taking off in the 1990s. In 2013, Element Six opened the world’s largest and most sophisticated synthetic diamond supermaterials...

PROV EN APPLICAT IONS FOR SY N T HE T IC DIAMOND S EMIC ONDUC T OR S With the drive to increase power densities, device thermal management is an ever increasing concern. Synthetic diamond lowers device temperatures, improves reliability and expands performance capability. Element Six Technologies provides singulated heat spreaders for a broad range of device types including high power RF devices. –– Synthetic diamond reduces thermal gradients near the device, making heat sinks more efficient and allowing higher power devices to be used without increasing the system size. –– In semiconductor...

INNOVAT I V E APPLICATIONS FOR SY N T HE T IC DIAMOND WAT E R T R E AT ME N T Synthetic diamond electrodes can be used for the treatment of industrial wastewater and landfill leachates which are difficult or impossible to treat by conventional means. This is a green technology because it requires no chemical additives. The production of ozone by electrolysis can be made more efficient and economical with the use of long lasting synthetic diamond electrodes. Ozone is a powerful oxidant used in many industrial and consumer processes, from disinfecting hospital laundry and sanitizing swimming...

SY N T HE T IC DIAMOND TR ANSFORMS PROCES SES AND PERFORMANCE E X T E NDING A PPL ICAT ION L IF E T IME Synthetic diamond as a component material can significantly lower the operating temperature of a device or process, and that enables longer application life or higher application performance, through increased operating cycles in a given period. This is due to its exceptional thermal conductivity. The graph below compares the thermal conductivity of synthetic diamond with other materials. The extraordinary properties and advantages of synthetic diamond are not confined to material science...
