304 Carbon, Graphite, Diamond, <strong>and</strong> Fullerenes<br />

Table 13.1. Chronology <strong>of</strong> Major Developments <strong>of</strong> CVD Diamond<br />

1950's Early work on low-pressure synthesis mostly at<br />

Union Carbide, Case Western, <strong>and</strong> in the Soviet<br />

Union<br />

1955 First production <strong>of</strong> high-pressure synthetic <strong>diamond</strong><br />

in Sweden, the U.S. <strong>and</strong> the Soviet Union<br />

1956- Continuing development <strong>of</strong> low pressure synthesis<br />

present by Derjaguin <strong>and</strong> others in the Soviet Union<br />

1974- NIRIM <strong>and</strong> other Japanese laboratories develop<br />

present high growth rate by CVD process<br />

1985 Consortium formed at Pennsylvania State University<br />

to promote <strong>diamond</strong> research in the U.S.<br />

1988 Development <strong>of</strong> <strong>diamond</strong> tweeter diaphragm by<br />

Sumitomo Electric<br />

1989 Development <strong>of</strong> <strong>diamond</strong>-coated boring <strong>and</strong> drilling<br />

tools by Mitsubishi Metals<br />

1992 Commercial production <strong>of</strong> free-st<strong>and</strong>ing shapes up to<br />

1 mm thick by Norton, General Electric, <strong>and</strong> others<br />
