Researchers at the University of Glasgow have made a milestone in developing a new generation of diamond transistors that will break through technical limitations and move closer to practical applications in high-power industries.
The research team has discovered a new method to make transistors out of diamond, which can be turned off by default and improve device safety. Diamond can withstand voltages much higher than silicon due to its wide bandgap properties, making it suitable for high-power applications. The transistor can be used in high-voltage, high-efficiency fields such as power grids and electric vehicles.
Professor David Moran's team at the University of Glasgow collaborated with universities in Australia and the United States, and the research results were published in Advanced Electronic Materials. Professor Moran pointed out that power electronic devices require high-power switches, but diamond transistors often lose sight of one thing while focusing on the other. His team successfully designed a diamond transistor that performs well in both shutdown and power supply functions, making significant progress.
The research team at the University of Glasgow used surface chemistry technology to improve the performance of diamond, first coating it with hydrogen atoms and then with aluminum oxide. The new diamond transistor requires 6 volts to turn on, has a large current, and doubles the efficiency of charge movement. When turned off, the resistance is extremely high, there is almost no current leakage, and the safety performance is improved. Professor Moran said that this result is encouraging, and diamond transistors have great potential and low cost, but there are still challenges to overcome, hoping to promote future applications.
High Light Intelligence Technology, a pioneer in the CVD diamond industry, has advanced MPCVD technology and CVD diamond production workshops. We focus on producing high-purity lab-grown diamonds for the jewelry industry, and at the same time create industrial-grade CVD diamond products, covering single crystals, polycrystalline, films and diamond surface metallization. We also provide 6kw/10kw/15kw MPCVD equipment to help customers in all aspects, from equipment to products, and then to all-round services, to create brilliance together.

Z-Axis System: The Key to Stable Production of MPCVD Diamonds
Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition is the mainstream method for producing high-quality diamonds in the industry. When the equipment is running, it first pumps the reaction chamber into a vacuum state to strictly ensure the chamber is fully sealed and airtight. Then, the microwave device releases energy, and special mixed reaction gases are fed into the chamber. Under the action of energy, a stable plasma area is formed. These highly active plasmas provide stable heat and reaction conditi

CVD Diamond Clarity: How to Avoid Inclusions That Affect Jewelry Value
After selecting a loose diamond, the setting not only determines the diamond’s security but also directly affects its perceived size. With diamonds of the same weight, choosing the right setting design can effortlessly create the surprise of “small carats making a big impact,” saving on your budget while enhancing the diamond’s quality. Among these, pavé and prong settings are the two most classic and effective ways to make a diamond appear larger. Paired with specialized designs that maximize t
