MPCVD Diamond Substrates · Made in India

Pioneering the Indigenization of Advanced Thermal Materials for India's Semiconductor Sector.

We supply exclusively Microwave Plasma CVD (MPCVD) diamonds — the gold standard for uniformity, purity, and defect control. Substrates are certified under our Vajra-Sāra™ protocol, delivering 1800–2000 W/m·K Ultra-Thermal Grade with Ra < 1 nm — engineered for semiconductor R&D, DRDO defense, and next-generation AI hardware.

Technical Baseline Properties

Key intrinsic properties of MPCVD diamond substrate — matched to Si, GaN, and SiC device stacks.

Thermal Expansion (CTE)
~1.0 × 10⁻⁶ /K
Near-identical to GaN (~5.6×10⁻⁶), SiC (~4.0×10⁻⁶), and Si (~2.6×10⁻⁶) device layers — minimising thermal stress at bonding interfaces across −55°C to +300°C operating range.
Surface Roughness Ra
SC: <1 nm · Poly: <5 nm
Single Crystal (SC) polished surfaces achieve Ra < 1 nm for epitaxial-grade applications. Polycrystalline (Poly) polished substrates maintain Ra < 5 nm for heatspreader and thermal interface applications.
Nitrogen Purity
<1 ppm · <0.05 ppm SR
Standard grade: < 1 ppm nitrogen (Type IIa class). Special Request (SR) grade: < 0.05 ppm for quantum sensing, ultra-low-loss RF, and precision optical window applications. Verified by SIMS.
Industrial High-Thermal Rejects
Non-Optical · Heat-Spreading Grade
Performance Without Perfection

During our MPCVD growth and Vajra-Sāra™ characterization process, substrates that do not achieve optical surface grade or full geometry tolerances are classified as Industrial High-Thermal Rejects. These substrates maintain ≥1400 W/m·K thermal conductivity and are fully viable for non-optical heat-spreading applications — offered at significantly reduced cost with full thermal CoA.

Thermal Conductivity: ≥ 1400 W/m·K (guaranteed)
Surface: Ra 5–50 nm (as-lapped or partial polish)
Geometry: ±50 µm dimensional tolerance
Full lot-level thermal CoA provided
Significant cost reduction vs. certified HTG grade
Qualified Use Cases
High-power LED / laser diode heatspreaders
Industrial RF amplifier thermal substrates
EV power module thermal interface materials
Prototype / early-stage R&D thermal testing
Non-critical MMIC package backing plates
General industrial heat-spreading applications
Availability

Industrial Rejects are available in limited quantities on a per-lot basis. Enquire via solutions@vajra-crest.com with your thermal floor requirement and geometry. Minimum order applies.

Picosecond Laser Precision Machining

Vajra-Crest operates precision picosecond laser machining for custom substrate geometries. The ultrashort pulse duration (<10 ps) minimises heat-affected zones, preserving the thermal and crystalline integrity of the diamond substrate at cut edges — critical for precision semiconductor and defence packaging applications.

Geometry range: 1 mm to 10 mm custom shapes
Dimensional accuracy: ±10 µm
Pulse duration: <10 ps (minimal heat-affected zone)
Shapes: square, rectangular, round, custom polygon

Why Picosecond vs. Nanosecond
Nanosecond lasers generate significant thermal energy, risking graphitisation and micro-cracking at cut edges. Picosecond pulses ablate material through non-thermal mechanisms — preserving diamond sp³ bonding at the kerf.
