Abstract QQC, Inc. has developed a revolutionary diamond deposition technique which does not require a vacuum, or H2, or ”chemical” or physical pre-treatment of surfaces. The process utilizes a combination of various pulsed lasers and is performed at the laboratory p−t conditions: with CO2 and N2 as shrouding gases. Crystalline diamond films and DLC or, more accurately, tetrahedral non-crystalline carbon (TNC) have been formed on various substrates. On WC cutting tools the rate of deposition of crystalline diamond is approximately 1 µm/sec. In the context of fabricating a diamond coating on a substrate, the entire pre-surface treatment and material synthesis process including a coating regime, is performed in one step.
