Diamond-based Semiconductor Technologies
Space Forge is developing diamond-based semiconductor technologies for enhanced thermal management, quantum applications, and improved interfaces, targeting sectors including aerospace.
Description
Space Forge is actively developing advanced diamond-based semiconductor technologies to address critical challenges in modern electronics. Their work focuses on three key areas: interfaces, NV centres, and thermal management. For interfaces, they are creating solutions and processes to overcome the integration challenges associated with diamond materials. In the realm of quantum applications, Space Forge is building expertise and processes to precisely control NV (Nitrogen-Vacancy) centres within their diamond materials, enabling their use in advanced sensing technologies. Furthermore, leveraging diamond's exceptional thermal conductivity, they are producing diamond materials and integration processes specifically for chip-level thermal management, crucial for dissipating hot-spots in high-performance electronics. These technologies are intended to underpin various sectors, including telecommunications, defence, AI & data, automotive, and aerospace. Space Forge is also seeking collaboration opportunities for materials development, chip manufacturing, research partnerships, and product qualification through their pilot lines.
