University of MissouriOffice of Technology Management & Industrial RelationsNon-Confidential Disclosure of InventionUM Disclosure No. 09UMC020Method for Production of Large-Format Single Crystal DiamondScientists at the University of Missouri-Columbia have developed a novel method of producing large format (diameter) single crystal diamond wafers. These are ideal for use in devices designed for radiation detection, electronics, and as gemstones. Current methods are limited to the production of wafers up to 10 mm maximum diameter. This new method can produce wafers up to 8 inches. Ability to produce these large format wafers on a large scale by means of a novel epitaxial technique will enable the next generation of single crystal diamond sensors, electronic devices, and gemstones. POTENTIAL AREAS OF APPLICATIONS:• Sensors• Neutron Detectors• Electronic devices that operate at high temperatures• GemstonesMAIN ADVANTAGES OF INVENTION:• Large format production capability• Ability to produce wafers up to 8 inchesSTATE OF DEVELOPMENT:• Prototypes have been developedFURTHER R&D REQUIRED:• Research on this technology is ongoingLICENSING POTENTIAL:• University seeks licensee with the potential to commercializePATENT STATUS:• Patent application is plannedINVENTOR(S): Mark Prelas, Tushar Ghosh, Robert Tompson, Sudarshan Loyalka, Dabir ViswanathCONTACT INFO:Office of Technology Management & Industrial Relations Wayne C.
