Review on advances in microcrystalline, nanocrystalline and ultrananocrystalline diamond films-based micro/nano-electromechanical systems technologies

Ultrananocrystalline and Nanocrystalline Diamond Thin Films for MEMS/NEMS Applications

Anirudha V. Sumant, Orlando Auciello, Robert W. Carpick, Sudarsan Srinivasan, and James E. Butler of smooth diamond films with uniform thickness and micro/nanostructure over large area substrates (≥150 mm diameter wafer), as recently demonstrated.1 Growth of thin (0.1 to 5 micron thick) diamond films on nondiamond substrates, typically conventional electronic substrates such as Si, SiC, and AlN...

Nanocrystalline Diamond Films: Applications and Advances in Nanomedicine

Environmental Performance Limits of Ultrananocrystalline Diamond Films

Recent improvements in growth methodologies have decreased the grain sizes and thicknesses of polycrystalline diamond films to the nanometer range, while also increasing the film uniformity and growth rate and preserving the outstanding mechanical properties of diamond. This is rendering such films more technologically and commercially viable. Ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) are the thinnes...

Cell Growth on Different Types of Ultrananocrystalline Diamond Thin Films

Unique functional materials provide a platform as scaffolds for cell/tissue regeneration. Investigation of cell-materials' chemical and biological interactions will enable the application of more functional materials in the area of bioengineering, which provides a pathway to the novel treatment for patients who suffer from tissue/organ damage and face the limitation of donation sources. Many st...
