The Purpose

Exolv has the single mission to provide the best diamond reactors and processes possible, enabling the start of the diamond age. The question is not whether diamond is the material of the future, but instead who drives this industry forward to make it possible.

The challenge is that industry lacks proper equipment to produce lab-grown diamond. One method is called high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT), but this is not feasible for many applications. The second method is chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The main type of CVD used today is microwave CVD (MW-CVD), but this technology provides limited growth area and significant plasma inhomogeneities across that growth area.

There is only one system that is truly capable of providing the diamond technologies of the future, and that is the Exolv reactor.

 
 

The Present

 

What most do not realize is that there are two markets for diamonds: the gemstones of the present and technologies of the future. While the Exolv system is capable of producing quality gemstones now, the ultimate goal is the development of diamond technologies.

Exolv developed a proprietary and patent pending direct current chemical vapor deposition (DC-CVD) plasma reactor that produces single-crystal lab-grown diamond. This system brings the largest growth area in the industry and unprecedented process control.

Lab-grown diamonds are one of those unique opportunities that presents itself only a few times each century. Its potential is foundational to many future technologies and it spans numerous industries.

The potential exists because diamond is the best material known to humankind in many areas with the highest thermal conductivity, highest hardness, and highest melting point. It is electrically resistant, insoluble to water and organic solvents, and the refractive index is high.

The properties of diamond enables it to benefit many industries. Obvious are gemstones and diamond tooling, but the reaches of diamond extend further.

 

The Potential

 

The Future

 

Diamond is possible to dope to create semiconductors, and there is strong potential to utilize the nitrogen vacancy centers for memory storage and quantum computation.

With the best ability to transfer heat, diamond can replace many silicon and gallium nitride substrates for devices. This means fuel efficiency increases, extended battery ranges, faster charging, better signal strength of cellular towers, extended range for phased-array radar with military applications, or higher power with electronics.

And this is only the beginning…
