Single Crystal Diamond Blank (Rough/As-cut Material)

Feedstock blocks from MPCVD-grown single-crystal diamond after initial cut separation—the starting material for further processing into substrates, optical windows, electronic-grade functional materials, and more.

01 / PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Product overview

Single-crystal diamond rough is feedstock block obtained after MPCVD (microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition) growth and initial cut separation, before polishing or cutting to standard substrate sizes.

This form is mainly for customers with in-house cutting and polishing capability, or for applications that require custom processing at the rough stage (e.g., specific crystal-orientation cutting or non-standard thickness slicing). After cutting and polishing, the product can be further processed into standard "single-crystal diamond" substrates (plate/circular), copper-metallized diamond, and other downstream products.

Crystal grade classification

The following crystal grades are available; specific grading criteria and inspection metrics can be provided on request:

single-crystal diamond rough
Optical grade
For uses that need high optical transmittance and optical uniformity. It can be processed further into optical windows and similar optical materials.
Electronic grade
For semiconductor and electronic-device uses that need higher crystal purity and lower defect density.
Industrial grade
For tools, structural parts, and other industrial uses where optical or electronic performance is less demanding.
Jewelry grade
For gem and consumer diamond grading (clarity, color, cut, and similar). The criteria differ from the industrial rough grades above.
GradeWhat this grade is for

Deliverable quantity per lot69 / 85 / 650 pcsDepends on the growth run and cutting configuration; specific quantities can be confirmed via technical inquiry
Crystal orientationAvailable on requestGrowth orientation is fixed during growth; rough is delivered as blocks, so the final working-face orientation depends on subsequent cutting. Common industry orientations are (100), (110), and (111); specific orientation can be confirmed by orientation testing

05 / PROCESSING CAPABILITY

Secondary processing directions

STEP 01

Custom cutting (orientation, thickness slicing), polishing, and other secondary processing available; scope confirmed against capacity and requirements.

STEP 02

After cutting and polishing, can be further processed into standard "single-crystal diamond" substrates (plate/circular), copper-/aluminum-metallized diamond, and other downstream functional materials.

STEP 03

For specific crystal orientation, purity grade, or surface finishing, submit requirements via technical inquiry for R&D feasibility assessment.

06 / APPLICATIONS

Application fields

For customers with in-house cutting/polishing capability, for secondary processing into custom substrates or functional parts

Feedstock materials platform for optical windows, electronic-grade functional materials, and other downstream products

Base sample source for materials evaluation, process development, and frontier R&D scenarios

Jewelry-grade rough: some customers buy rough and complete subsequent cutting, polishing, and jewelry-grade processing themselves, without relying on finished consumer diamonds from us

Jewelry-grade rough is evaluated under gemological criteria (clarity, color, cut, etc.) that differ from the industrial materials grading used for optical-/electronic-/industrial-grade rough. Specific grading bases can be provided on request.
