The St. Petersburg company New Diamond Technology (NDT), known as a manufacturer of synthetic diamonds for jewelry industry, actively developing new directions. Its products are used in electronics, quantum technologies and other high-tech spheres.
NDT uses two advanced diamond growing methods:
- HPHT is a high pressure and temperature technology that imitates the natural conditions of diamond formation.
- CVD is chemical vapor deposition, which makes it possible to obtain crystals with desired properties.
These methods make it possible to create diamonds weighing more than 100 carats, superior to their natural counterparts in purity, strength and other characteristics.
The company’s main product is diamond plates ranging in size from 3 to 15 mm. They are used in electronics as substrates for semiconductors, which significantly increases their efficiency.
“Our goal is to create an end-to-end technology for the production of large-diameter diamond wafers with improved properties,” NDT notes.
At the end of April 2024, the Voskhod venture fund acquired a 40.7% stake in NDT for 1 billion rubles. These funds will be used to develop research and increase the production of components for microelectronics and quantum technologies.
Experts believe synthetic diamonds could make a breakthrough in electronics, enabling higher performance and energy efficiency in devices.
“Russian developments in this area have great potential for the world market,” analysts emphasize.
