high-purity and specifically doped monocrystalline diamond layers for applications in quantum technologies, for example as single photon sources, high-resolution magnetic field probes, or for future power electronic devices based on diamond. We are also involved in the development, optimization and application of single-crystalline diamond wafers for optical and electronic applications.

As a representative of the group of semiconductor materials with large bandgaps, the material diamond with its interesting properties is ideal for high-voltage power devices that can be used at elevated temperatures. The high breakdown voltage and outstanding thermal conductivity of diamond enable the development of devices that far exceed the performance of comparable silicon solutions. Fraunhofer IAF utilizes these properties and uses single crystalline diamond for the development of novel electronic high-performance devices.
