Diamfab is an internationally recognized pioneer in semiconductor diamonds. Founded in 2019 and based in Grenoble (France), Diamfab is a spin-off from the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) headed by Gauthier Chicot, Khaled Driche, Ivan Llaurado and currently employs 15 people. The company synthesizes high value-added diamond wafers for the semiconductor industry. It also designs diamond-based electronic component architectures, and develops the corresponding manufacturing processes.
With electrical and thermal performance superior to SiC and GaN, record efficiency (99%), compactness, and a reduced carbon footprint throughout the process (from material manufacture to component use), Diamfab’s high value-added diamond wafers are designed to play a major role in the electrification of society. From electric cars to the future high-voltage grid, from hybrid aircraft to batteries for connected objects, diamond will be at the heart of the energy transition.
