  • Patent number: 8455278
    Abstract: N-V centers in diamond are created in a controlled manner. In one embodiment, a single crystal diamond is formed using a CVD process, and then annealed to remove N-V centers. A thin layer of single crystal diamond is then formed with a controlled number of N-V centers. The N-V centers form Qubits for use in electronic circuits. Masked and controlled ion implants, coupled with annealing are used in CVD formed diamond to create structures for both optical applications and nanoelectromechanical device formation. Waveguides may be formed optically coupled to the N-V centers and further coupled to sources and detectors of light to interact with the N-V centers.

  • Publication number: 20110054450
    Abstract: Masked and controlled ion implants, coupled with annealing or etching are used in CVD formed single crystal diamond to create structures for both optical applications, nanoelectromechanical device formation, and medical device formation. Ion implantation is employed to deliver one or more atomic species into and beneath the diamond growth surface in order to form an implanted layer with a peak concentration of atoms at a predetermined depth beneath the diamond growth surface. The composition is heated in a non-oxidizing environment under suitable conditions to cause separation of the diamond proximate the implanted layer. Further ion implants may be used in released structures to straighten or curve them as desired. Boron doping may also be utilized to create conductive diamond structures.

  • Publication number: 20100055022
    Abstract: Diamonds are embedded with one or more layers representative of an identifier. The identifier may include encoding in the form of defects created in one or more layers in a recognizable pattern, such as a bar code, characters or symbols. In some embodiments, a single crystal CVD diamond is formed with layers of varying thickness to provide the encoding. A system includes a radiation source to provide short wavelength light. A holder positions a gemstone to receive the light. A detector is positioned to receive fluorescent light from the gemstone when the gemstone is a CVD grown gemstone, and a pattern identifier correlates a detected pattern of defects to unique identification information.
