Substantial developments have been achieved in the synthesis of chemical vapour deposition (CVD) diamond in recent years, providing engineers and designers with access to a large range of new diamond materials. CVD diamond has a number of outstanding material properties that can enable exceptional performance in applications as diverse as medical diagnostics, water treatment, radiation detection, high power electronics, consumer audio, magnetometry and novel lasers. Often the material is synthesized in planar form; however, non-planar geometries are also possible and enable a number of key applications. This paper reviews the material properties and characteristics of single crystal and polycrystalline CVD diamond, and how these can be utilized, focusing particularly on optics, electronics and electrochemistry. It also summarizes how CVD diamond can be tailored for specific applications, on the basis of the ability to synthesize a consistent and engineered high performance product.
近年来，化学气相沉积（CVD）金刚石的合成取得了重大进展，为工程师和设计师提供了获得大量新型金刚石材料的途径。CVD金刚石具有许多优异的材料特性，可在医疗诊断、水处理、辐射检测、高功率电子学、消费音频、磁力测量和新型激光器等各种应用中实现卓越性能。这种材料通常以平面形式合成；然而，非平面几何形状也是可能的，并能实现一些关键应用。本文综述了单晶和多晶CVD金刚石的材料特性，以及如何利用这些特性，特别关注光学、电子学和电化学方面。它还总结了基于合成一致且经过设计的高性能产品的能力，如何针对特定应用定制CVD金刚石。
