  • Single crystalline diamond part production method for stand alone single crystalline mechanical and optical component production
    Patent number: 11512409
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a free-standing single crystalline diamond part and a single crystalline diamond part production method. The method includes the steps of: —providing a single crystalline diamond substrate or layer; —providing a first adhesion layer on the substrate or layer; —providing a second adhesion layer on the first adhesion layer: —providing a mask layer on the second adhesion layer; —forming at least one indentation or a plurality of indentations through the mask layer and the first and second adhesion layers to expose a portion or portions of the single crystalline diamond substrate or layer; and—etching the exposed portion or portions of the single crystalline diamond substrate or layer and etching entirely through the single crystalline diamond substrate or layer.

  • NON-CONTACT POLISHING OF A CRYSTALLINE LAYER OR SUBSTRATE BY ION BEAM ETCHING
    Publication number: 20220275533
    Abstract: Polishing method comprising the steps of: —providing at least one crystalline layer or substrate, the at least one crystalline layer or substrate extending in at least one plane, and including at least one outer surface and at least one depression extending from the at least one outer surface; and —polishing the at least one outer surface using ion beam etching (IBE) or an accelerated inert gas ion beam, the ion beam being incident on the at least one outer surface at non-normal incidence or at a non-zero angle (?) with respect to the surface normal of the at least one plane of the crystalline layer or substrate.
