Diamond Chip: Presented By: Remshad Medappil

Carbon chips manufactured using carbon nanotubes and graphene could replace silicon chips. Carbon chips would be smaller, faster, and able to operate at higher temperatures than silicon chips. Key advantages of carbon chips include allowing for smaller components, operating at higher temperatures due to diamond's strong bonding structure, faster speeds due to carbon's higher electron mobility, and greater power handling capacity for applications like power electronics that cause silicon chips to fail. Carbon nanotubes and graphene offer promising nano-scale materials for building next-generation carbon chips.

DIAMOND CHIP

INTRODUCTION

Electronics with out silicon is unbelievable, but it will
come true with evolution of diamond or carbon chip.
Now-a-days we are using silicon for manufacturing of
electronic chips. It has many disadvantages when it is
used in power electronic applications, such as bulk
size, slow operating speeds, etc… By using carbon as
manufacturing material, we can achieve smaller, faster
and stronger chips
What is Diamond chip?

 Diamond chip is nothing but


carbon chip.

Carbon chip is an electronic chip


manufactured on a diamond
structural carbon wafer.

The major component using


carbon is”CARBON NANOTUBE”
WHAT IS A CARBON NANOTUBE?

Carbon nanotubes were


discovered in 1991.
It is a nano - size cylinder of
carbon atoms.
They are made of one or
several concentric walls in
which carbon atoms are
arranged in hexagonal
pattern, measuring several
tens of microns in length and
less than a few nanometres in
diameter
HOW NANOTECHNOLOGY WORKS?
Imagine a sheet of
carbon atoms, which
would look like a sheet
of hexagons.
 If you roll that sheet
into a tube, you'd have a
carbon nano tube.
Carbon nano tube
properties depend on
how you roll the sheet.
CARBON FEATURES….
Carbon will succeed silicon
as the predominate
semiconducting material for
the integrated circuits of the
future.
Carbon--which sits just
above silicon on the periodic
table can surpass silicon’s
abilities in thermal
performance, frequency
range and perhaps even
superconductivity.
One-dimensional carbon-
1nm-diameter nanotubes--
could solve digital silicon's
speed woes.
Nanotubes will appear first as
printable "inks" that are 10
times faster than competing
organic transistors.
 zero-dimensional carbon--60-
atom, hollow spheres of
carbon called fullerenes--
could answer silicon's inability
to attain high-temperature
superconductivity
CARBON TRANSISTORS
Transistors less than one-quarter the size
of the tiniest silicon ones - and potentially
more efficient - can be made using sheets
of carbon just one-tenth of a nanometre
thick, research shows.
The transistors are made of graphene, a
sheet of carbon atoms in a flat honeycomb
arrangement. Graphene makes graphite
when stacked in layers, and carbon
nanotubes when rolled into a tube.
Graphene also conducts electricity faster
than most materials since electrons can
travel through in straight lines between
atoms without being scattered. This could
ultimately mean faster, more efficient
electronic components that also require
less power.
When placed a piece of
graphene on top of silicon and
positioned this over a metallic
grate.
 Acid was used to dissolve the
silicon, leaving graphene
suspended across 500 nm
gaps.
A transmission electron
microscope then revealed it is
covered in tiny ripples, which
keep the material stable.
The ripples extend about 1 nm
up and down and are around
25 nm across. It's not flat at all.
Advantages
SMALLER COMPONENTS ARE POSSIBLE
 As the size of the carbon atom is small compared with that of silicon
atom, it is possible to etch very smaller lines through diamond
structural carbon. We can realize a transistor whose size is one in
hundredth of silicon transistor.
IT WORKS AT HIGHER TEMPERATURE
Diamond is very strongly bonded material. It can withstand higher
temperatures compared with that of silicon. At very high temperature,
crystal structure of the silicon will collapse. But diamond chip can
function well in these elevated temperatures.
Diamond is very good conductor of heat. So if there is any heat
dissipation inside the chip, heat will very quickly transferred to the
heat sink or other cooling mechanics.
FASTER THAN SILICON CHIP
Carbon chip works faster than silicon chip. Mobility of the
electrons inside the doped diamond structural carbon is higher
than that of in he silicon structure. As the size of the silicon is
higher than that of carbon, the chance of collision of electrons
with larger silicon atoms increases. But the carbon atom size is
small, so the chance of collision decreases.
LARGER POWER HANDLING CAPACITY
For power electronics application silicon is used, but it has
many disadvantages such as bulk in size, slow operating speed,
less efficiency, lower band gap etc at very high voltages silicon
structure will collapse. Diamond has a strongly bonded crystal
structure. So carbon chip can work under high power
environment.. We can connect high power circuit direct to
the diamond chip
CONCLUSION

Thus diamond chip replaces the need of silicon in


every aspect in future generations
