Diamond Foundry

In support of the NSF Quantum Foundry, the QSF houses a suite of tools for diamond film growth and defect engineering. Included in this suite are CVD tools for deposition and in-situ doping of high purity single crystal diamond, a tunable-energy electron gun irradiation tool for vacancy creation, and a reactive ion etcher (RIE) dedicated to diamond-only etching for fabrication of nanostructures and photonic/phononic devices.

 How-to Information

Steps to Access the Quantum Structures Facility
