One of the World’s Biggest Diamonds Could Be Key to Some of the World’s Fastest Microchips

Silicon Valley chip companies are exploring unconventional materials such as synthetic diamond, ultrapure glass, and boron arsenide to tackle the increasing heat generated by microchips. The current generation of high-performance microchips can consume around 100 watts/cm² and need effective heat dissipation for better performance. Diamond Foundry, for instance, has created large wafers of synthetic diamond that can be bonded with silicon microchips to dissipate heat quickly. Intel is working on using glass backing to improve chip integrity and enable high-speed connections. Researchers are also considering boron arsenide as a potential alternative to silicon for faster and more efficient microchips.
