  • Publication number: 20250136498
    Abstract: A method of forming a diamond coated glass structure includes providing a glass substrate having a first and a second side. A CVD diamond layer can be deposited on the first side, with an ion containing paste applied or contacted to the CVD diamond layer on the first side for a time sufficient to introduce ions into the first side of the glass substrate. The diamond coated glass structure can be further chemically modified by having both the first and second sides of the glass substrate optionally immersed in an ion containing chemical bath.

  • Publication number: 20250122118
    Abstract: A method of forming a diamond coated glass structure includes providing a glass substrate having a first and a second side. The second side can be covered in whole or in part with a coating capable of reducing ion exchange. The substrate can be bent to form the first side as convex and the second side as concave. A CVD diamond layer can be deposited on the convex first side of the substrate and at least a portion of the substrate chemically modified through ion exchange. After removal of the stress, the stresses due to applied diamond layers and chemical modification through ion exchange can balance, providing a substantially flat diamond coated glass structure.

  • Publication number: 20250122641
    Abstract: A method of forming a diamond coated glass structure includes providing a substrate having a first and a second side, with each side having at least one corner and one edge. A first portion of the first side can be masked and a CVD diamond layer deposited on a second portion of the first side of the substrate. After diamond deposition, ion substitution can be used to chemically modify at least a portion of the substrate. In some embodiments, flatness of substrates can be maintained despite compressive effects due to diamond coatings. In other embodiments, ion substitution into a partially diamond coated glass structure will greatly increase impact resistance at the corners, provide lower impact resistance at the edges, and have lowest impact resistance in a central region of the diamond coated glass structure.
