CVD Synthetic Diamonds from Gemesis Corp.

Abstract

A long with the conventional high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) growth technique, single-crystal synthetic diamond can be produced using chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Technological advances and a greater understanding of the crystal growth processes have led to significant improvements in quality over the last decade. Today, CVD-grown faceted synthetic diamonds are present in the jewelry market in a variety of colors and sizes (e.g., Furthermore, post-growth treatments to improve the color and transparency of these materials have been investigated.
