Abstract :
In single definition, Diamond Chip or
carbon Chip is
an electronic chip manufactured on a Diamond
structural Carbon wafer, or it can be also defined as the electronic component manufactured
using carbon as the wafer.
The major component
using carbon is (cnt) Carbon Nanotube. Carbon Nanotube is a nano dimensional made
by using carbon. It has many unique properties.
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE?
Pure Diamond
structural carbon is non-conducting in nature. In order to make it conducting we
have to perform doping process. We are using Boron as the p- type doping Agent and
the Nitrogen as the n-type doping agent. The doping process is similar to that in
the case of Silicon chip manufacturing. But this process will take more time compared
with that of silicon because it is very difficult to diffuse through strongly bonded
diamond structure. CNT (Carbon Nanotube) is
already a semi conductor.
Electronics
without silicon is unbelievable, but it will come true with the evolution of Diamond
or Carbon chip. Now a day we are using silicon for the manufacturing of Electronic
Chip’s. It has many disadvantages when it is used in power electronic applications,
such as bulk in size, slow operating speed etc. Carbon, Silicon and Germanium are
belonging to the same group in the periodic table. They have four valance electrons
in their outer shell.
Pure Silicon
and Germanium are semiconductors in normal temperature. So in the earlier days they
are used widely for the manufacturing of electronic components. But later it is
found that Germanium has many disadvantages
Compared to silicon,
such as large
reverse current, less stability
towards temperature etc so in the industry
focused in developing electronic components
using silicon
wafers
Now research people
found that Carbon is more
advantages than Silicon. By using carbon as the manufacturing material, we can achieve
smaller, faster and stronger chips. They are succeeded in making smaller prototypes
of Carbon chip. They invented a major component using carbon that is "CARBON
NANOTUBE", which is widely used in most modern microprocessors and it will
be a major component in the Diamond chip.
