LattiSpec to offer Plasmability CVD diamond system
US company Plasmability, which designs and builds CVD diamond reactors, is now offering its IceMaker CVD diamond growth system through LattiSpec, a global marketplace for technology-grade diamond.
The listing lets corporate R&D labs, national labs, and universities grow high-quality diamond themselves, using Plasmability’s equipment and the growth processes it developed to run on it.
Diamond moves heat better than almost any other material, and researchers are working on both bonding it to chips and growing it directly onto chips to pull that heat away. Engineers designing diamond into radar electronics and AI chips need lab-grown material made to specs that most of the world’s diamond-growing chambers cannot achieve.
“Having both equipment design expertise and an internal diamond foundry facility allows us to fully support customers with both equipment and diamond material,” said Bill Holber, president and CTO of Plasmability. Holber came to diamond from the semiconductor industry and holds more than 40 USA patents.
“Most labs that want to design diamond into a chip or a sensor buy material grown to someone else’s recipe,” said Marty Hurwitz, co-founder of LattiSpec. “With a reactor of their own, they can adjust the recipe and run it again on their own schedule. Bill’s team has been building that equipment in Austin for more than a decade.”
