Along with being an integral part of ornaments, diamonds also have incredible properties that could change the way we power electronic products. When compared to the other semiconductors, diamonds have better thermal conductivity, high-frequency, and the ability to work at elevated temperatures This is precisely why diamond materials are gaining the immense attention of manufacturers in hardware and semiconductor industry.
Silicon or the new age materials?
Today, semiconductors usually are made of silicon, owing to its upright electrical and mechanical properties, and low fabrication cost. However, the present silicon system produces large volumes of e-waste that pollutes water, poisons children, and releases harmful substances like lead and methane. Therefore, semiconductor manufacturers are turning towards new age materials such as diamond, SiC, GaAs, and GaN to manufacture electronic devices with greater efficiency.
The rise of diamonds: Multiple applications
The global diamond materials for semiconductor market is segmented based on the end-users into semiconductor foundries and integrated device manufacturers (IDMs).
Integrated device manufacturers(IDMs): IDMs constitute foundries that manufacture Integrated Circuits(ICs) for their products. The end-users are shifting from silicon to the new age diamond materials for the fabrication of the ICs owing to certain advantages of diamond over other resources. Currently, the IDMs are using these materials for the fabrication of ICs in several devices such as LEDs, RF, and power devices. The diamond-enabled devices deliver high speed even at elevated temperatures when compared with silicon.
Semiconductor foundries: The foundries are upgrading their manufacturing units and the fabrication process to ensure maximum productivity, reliability, and quality to meet the demands for the ICs in the market for the next-generation devices. One of the major growth factors that can increase the significance of diamond materials for the semiconductor market is the expansion of their manufacturing plants.
