This partnership marks a critical transition from research to scalable manufacturing for wafer-scale single crystal diamond, directly addressing material needs for quantum technologies and 6G wireless applications. By establishing reproducible processes for larger wafers while optimizing existing lines for thermal bonding and epitaxial growth, the industry moves closer to viable volume production of this advanced substrate.
Orbray & E6 Establish Reproducible Process for 3-Inch Diamond

Element Six and Orbray have advanced their partnership to enable volume production of wafer-scale single crystal diamond, successfully establishing a reproducible process for 3-inch wafers. This development represents progress in size, uniformity, and manufacturability compared to conventional single crystal diamond materials.
Element Six and Orbray have achieved a reproducible process for creating 3-inch wafer-scale single crystal diamond, a substantial advance in both size and manufacturing feasibility compared to conventional single crystal diamond materials. The companies are simultaneously preparing 2-inch wafer diamonds for volume production at Element Six’s chemical vapor deposition facility in Gresham, Oregon, specifically optimized…
