UNCD Wafers: A Family of Materials

UNCD is ADT's brand name for a family of thin film diamond products.

UNCD Aqua The Aqua series of UNCD® films from ADT are electrically insulating phase-pure nanocrystalline diamond films.  Other nanocrystalline diamond films are typically comprised of graphitically-bonded material intermixed with crystalline diamond grains.In contrast, UNCD films have no amorphous graphitic phases.The results are films that capture the hardness, modulus and other extreme properties of natural diamond but are also smooth and have very low internal stresses. 

  • Aqua Series (electrically insulating diamond)

    • Aqua 25 - Thin, smooth (~7 nm rms) UNCD film. Perfect for MEMS devices, smooth nanotechnology application like nano imprint lithography and in- general, the all-purpose UNCD product
    • Aqua 50 - The best tribological UNCD for industrial low-friction coatings
    • Aqua 100 - The highest thermal conductivity UNCD, appropriate for heat spreading and transparency in the optical spectrum
    • To determine which Aqua product is best for your application, see the table in the UNCD Wafer brochure.


UNCD Lightning™
: The Lightning series of UNCD films from ADT are electrically-conductive versions of the Aqua series. UNCD Lightning has a resistivity of approximately 0.1 ohm-cm. For more information about UNCD Lightning, please contact us directly.

 


NEW! UNCD Horizon™
: The Horizon technology delivers UNCD in ultra-smooth form. The surface of a Horizon 25 wafer has a roughness value of less than 1nm rms. More information can be found on the press release and the Horizon brochure.



UNCD Wafers


UNCD Wafers are wafer-scale diamond products, used for MEMS development, tribological testing, and unique nano-scale processing applications. UNCD Wafers offer the ability to create and experiment with the extraordinary properties of diamond, using the award winning family of UNCD materials. UNCD Wafers meet a set of baseline wafer-level specifications for thickness/ property uniformity, wafer bow, and particle counts suitable for direct insertion into a MEMS foundry process sequence.


DoSi™ Wafers
(diamond on silicon): A prime silicon wafer with a thin film of UNCD. UNCD DoSi Wafers are offered for all of the family of UNCD materials. Wafer sizes available are 100, 150, 200, and 300mm sizes.

 



DOI™ Wafers
(diamond on insulator): Standard silicon wafers coated with a thermal SiO2 layer (nominal 1 micron thickness) followed by UNCD Aqua 25, 50, or 100. These substrates are ready for further MEMS processing using standard surface micromachining techniques to make UNCD-based cantilevers, resonators, diaphragms, windows, etc. UNCD DOI Wafers are offered for all of the family of UNCD materials. Wafer sizes available are 100, 150, 200, and 300mm sizes.


UNCD Diamond Windows
: For a limited time, ADT is offering die of small 300 micron square diamond windows for purchase. The wafer die is 1.5 cm2, with UNCD Aqua 25 windows in an array of 2 mm2.


Custom UNCD Wafers
: ADT is happy to work with its customers to develop custom wafer stacks suitable for creating complex MEMS devices. ADT will also integrate UNCD into a customer's patterned wafer stack. Please contact us for pricing and availability.


Custom MEMS Development
: ADT is happy to work with its customers to develop a variety of custom MEMS diamond products. An example of a project might be similar to the left image. This is an array of diamond pyramids, a few microns in height. If you are interested in creating your MEMS product with diamond, contact us.
