CVD Diamond as dielectric material
May22, 2026
High-purity MPCVD (Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition) diamond is one of the best dielectric materials for high-frequency and high-power electronic applications due to its ultra-low impurity content, low dielectric loss, and excellent thermal conductivity.
Dielectric Constant (Relative Permittivity, εr)
Characteristics:
Extremely frequency-stable
Very low temperature coefficient
Excellent dimensional and dielectric stability
Dielectric Loss Tangent (tan δ)
MPCVD diamond exhibits extremely low dielectric loss, making it ideal for:
