Fabrication and characterization of copper-diamond particles

The electroless copper deposition on both pure and Cr-coated diamond particles was studied to produce copper/diamond composites for electronic packaging materials. The particles were characterized and the mechanism of product formation was investigated through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). The particle coating thickness was measured using optical micrographs. The diamond particles got uniform coating thickness of copper crystals layers. This method provided an excellent base for the fabrication of metal-based composites using cheap equipments, and was less time consuming, nature friendly and economical compared with other methods of diamond surface metallization.

Study on ceramic photonic bandgap structure with three-dimensional diamond lattice

A novel process, which was based on powder injection molding, was investigated for the fabrication of ceramic photonic bandgap structure with three-dimensional diamond lattice. The SiO2-TiO2 ceramic powder was mixed with a water-soluble agent to produce slurry. The slurry was then injected into an epoxy mold with inverse diamond lattice, fabricated by the stereolitographic rapid prototyping process. To increase the density of the green compact, cold isostatic pressing was applied on the unit. Using thermal debinding, the water-soluble agent and the epoxy were extracted at 360 and 650 K, respectively. Sintering was immediately done at 950 K for 5 h and the desired three-dimensional ceramic structure was obtained. The calculated band diagram for this structure indicated the existence of an absolute photonic bandgap for all wave vectors. At 14.7-18.5 GHz, a complete band gap was located with a maximum attenuation of 30 dB at 17 GHz, when transmission was measured in the 〈100〉 direction between 10 and 20 GHz.     

Nanocrystalline diamond growth on different substrates

Nanocomposite films consisting of diamond nanoparticles of 3-5 nm diameter embedded in an amorphous carbon matrix have been deposited by means of microwave plasma chemical vapour deposition (MWCVD) from CH₄/N₂ gas mixtures. Si wafers, Si coated with TiN, polycrystalline diamond (PCD) and cubic boron nitride films, and Ti-6Al-4V alloy have been used as substrates. Some of the substrates have been pretreated ultrasonically with diamond powder in order to enhance the nucleation density n_nuc. It turned out that n_nuc depends critically on the chemical nature of the substrate, its smoothness and the pretreatment applied. No differences to the nucleation behaviour of CVD PCD films were observed. On the other hand, the growth process seems to be not affected by the substrate material. The crystallinity (studied by X-ray diffraction) and the bonding environment (investigated by Raman spectroscopy) show no significant differences for the various substrates. The mechanical and tribological properties, finally, reflect again the influence of the substrate material: on TiN, a lower hardness was measured as compared to Si, PCD and c-BN, whereas the adhesion of c-BN/nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) system was determined by that of the c-BN film on the underlying Si substrate.

Redefining the Diamond Cutting Edge: A Technique that Complements Nano-Metric Surface Generation

Ongoing developments in broadband digital networks and optical devices require mechanical components having nano-metric surface finishes and ultra precision shapes. Such components are processed using the technology of diamond micro-machining in which diamond tools are extensively used. However, these tools are susceptible to chemical attack at high temperatures and induce severe wear, especially when cutting ferrous materials. As a result, these diamond tools need to be redefined (i.e., resharpened) on a regular basis in order to facilitate micro-cutting and to generate nano-metric surface finishes. This paper describes a new way of diamond tool edge re-sharpening and its conditions to achieve both increased accuracy and material removal rate.
