DIAMOND CHIP

To overcome the defects of silicon chip

INTRODUCTION
Electronics without silicon is unbelviable ,but it will
come true with evolution of diamond or carbon chip.
 Now a days we are using silicon for manufacturing of
electronic chips.
 It has many disadvantage when it used in power electronic
applications such as bulk size , slow operating speeds etc.
 By using carbon as manufacturing material , we can achieve
smaller , faster and stronger chip.
WHAT IS DIAMOND CHIP?
Diamond chip is nothing but carbon chip
 Carbon chip is an electronic chip manufactured on a
diamond structural carbon wafer.
 The major component using carbon is “CARBON
NANOTUBE”
WHAT IS CARBON NANOTUBE?
 Carbon nanotube was discovered in year 1991.
It is a nano size cylinder of carbon atom.
They are made of one or several concentric walls in which
carbon atoms are arranged in hexagonal pattern ,
measuring several tens of microns in length and less than
a few nanometers in diameter.
HOW NANO TECHNOLOGY WORKS--
 Imagine a sheet of carbon atoms which would like a sheet
of hexagons.
 If you roll that sheet into a tube , you would have the
carbon nanotube.
 Carbon nano tube properties depends on how you roll the
sheet.
Carbon Features
 Carbon will succeed silicon as a predominate
semiconducting material for integrated circuits of the
future.
 Carbon which sets just above Silicon in the periodic table
can surpass Silicon’s abilities in thermal performance ,
frequency range and perhaps even semi conductivity.
ADVANTAGES
o Smaller components are possible:-because the size of the
carbon atom is smaller than the silicon atom and etching on
the diamond structural carbon atom is easy we build the
smaller components.
o It works at higher temperature:- diamond is very strongly
bounded natural. It can withstand higher temperature
compared with that of silicon. Silicon chip will collapse at
elevated temp. but the diamond chip will function.
o Good conductor of heat.
Faster than Silicon Chip….
Carbon chip works faster than the silicon chip. Mobility of
electrons inside the doped diamond structural carbon is
higher than that of the silicon structure.

LARGER POWER HANDLING CAPACITY.

CONCLUSION

Thus Diamond chip replaces the need of Silicon in every

respect in future generation.
