Lab Created Diamond Computer Chips from Feroz Ali's blog

Silicon chips have reached the limit of their capacity to act as a semi-conductor of electricity. "Silicon Chips" according to MIT Professor of material science, Dr. Wuensch states" Will melt into a puddle" at this rate and diamond is the solution to that problem. A modern computer system in the office will generate heat at [100] degrees celsius, enough to heat a small office on a cold day.

This has prompted scientist to discover a replacement material that can handle more electricity with greater conductivity without over heating. This quest set off a world-wide race to take control of the computer and synthetic diamond industry.

The initial players in this quest are De Beers who controls the most productive and valuable diamond mines on earth located in Botswana S. Africa. And Apollo man made diamonds who produce synthetic laboratory created diamonds in United States

Apollo is owned by a first rate scientist whose dream was to create a better computer power chip..He knew that the ultimate conductor is the diamond itself. Diamond can conduct more electricity without over heating than any material on earth.. He also knew that even the world's best De Beer mine diamonds do not have consistent properties that you can depend on to make computer chips.

Synthetic laboratory created diamonds held the key. A new technology was created called "Chemical Vapor Deposition." This Apollo advanced [CVD] application grew diamond crystals of highest purity without metallic inclusions. These new "Hybrid Synthetic" lab created diamonds were uncovered and reported to De Beers "Diamond Trading Company."

This set off a series of events that compelled the De Beers group to start scientific research of their own. It was a two-fold attack on the [CVD] chemical vapor deposition industry. One was to develop diamond scanning equipment to detect a synthetic diamond entering the market place. De Beers being most resourceful did just that. He launched a "Gem Defensive Program" and developed two state of the art diamond testing machines called, "Diamond Sure and Diamond View."

Events are unfolding and America's largest diamond testing facility, the "Gemological Institute of America has become aware of the Apollo Diamond as a possible threat to the entire natural diamond industry. We should take pause at the magnitude of the economic power sectors at play. We are talking about "Multi-Billion" dollars industries that effect change on a global level.

The [GIA] used their lab diamond testing "Spectroscope," which was state of the art at the time. The began testing the new synthetic stones, one by one. And after each test they discovered the Apollo synthetic lab created diamonds had no visible color spectra or absorption. It passed the natural diamond test! But testing was not over yet. The DeBeers "Gem Defense Program" had applied and was given permission by the [GIA] to also test the new synthetic diamonds with their next generation of "Diamond View and Diamond Sure" testing equipment.

These instruments use a new diamond testing technology called "Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy" [FTIR]. A system that can detect hydrogen related centers that have never be observed in natural diamonds. De Beers did detect [6200-6400] centimeter of hydrogen which is used to make Apollo synthetic lab created diamonds. De Beers was successful at detecting synthetic lab created diamonds. The diamond industry felt relief that the market price would remain stable.

But this was a meaningless exercise. Apollo was only interested in selling gem quality diamonds to fund his diamond computer chip program. His goal from the beginning was to create a " Better Computer Chip." They spent a decade trying to find the "Sweet Spot" where he can duplicate his scientific chemical vapor deposition experiment and reproduce an exact synthetic lab created diamond. After countless years of trial and error, Apollo Diamond pain stakingly persevered and finally found the "Sweet Spot" and was awarded a patent for his efforts.
