The hardness of crystalline materials is one of the most critical factors determining the selection of cutting, grinding, and polishing processes. It directly influences machining efficiency, tool wear, process parameters, cost control, and final product quality. Differences in hardness significantly affect tool select

Thermal conductivity is a critical property of semiconductor substrate materials. It directly affects heat dissipation efficiency, device power density, and operational reliability. The thermal performance of a substrate is determined by factors such as crystal structure, lattice order, impurity concentration, and defe

Diamond substrates, with ultra-high thermal conductivity (up to 2000 W/(m·K)), excellent chemical inertness, and a wide bandgap, are ideal heat-spreading materials for heterogeneous integration of wide bandgap semiconductors such as GaN and SiC. Wafer bonding is the key integration pathway between diamond and se

Properties, Manufacturing Differences, and Market ApplicationsDiamond substrates are broadly classified into single crystal and polycrystalline types based on their crystal structure. Both benefit from ultra-high thermal conductivity and extreme hardness, making them important in semiconductors, optics, and precision m

Single crystal diamond substrates are formed by carbon atoms in an sp³-hybridized tetrahedral structure, creating a perfectly ordered lattice without grain boundaries. This unique structure gives diamond extreme thermal, electrical, optical, and mechanical performance — making it widely regarded as the &ldqu
