This project aims to use plasma deposition to synthesise diamond glass with the highest purity and the most diamond-like character so that it meets the strict requirements for emerging device applications. The extreme properties of diamond glass arise from the diamond-like bonding of the majority of its atoms. This amorphous, wide bandgap semiconductor is also the hardest known glass. The maximum diamond-like content possible in diamond glass coatings is unknown, so determining its ultimate performance is difficult. Expected applications include medical diagnostics, non-volatile memories and programmable chips.

该项目旨在利用等离子沉积技术合成具有最高纯度和最具类金刚石特性的金刚石玻璃，以满足新兴器件应用的严格要求。金刚石玻璃的极端特性源于其大多数原子的类金刚石键。这种非晶宽禁带半导体也是已知最硬的玻璃。金刚石玻璃涂层中可能的最大类金刚石含量是未知的，因此很难确定其最终性能。预计应用领域包括医疗诊断、非易失性存储器和可编程芯片。
