Adamant Namiki Precision Jewel Co. Ltd. (Adachi-ku Tokyo; President and CEO Riyako Namiki) has succeeded in developing a mass production method for ultra-high-purity 2-inch diamond wafers. This ultra-high-purity diamond contains no more than 3 ppb (parts per billion) of nitrogen atoms, as required for quantum applications, such as quantum computers*1, quantum memory*2, and quantum sensing devices. The newly developed diamond wafer has a 2-inch diameter (approximately 55 mm), much larger than the 4mm×4mm crystal currently available. This new technology is expected to propel the advancement of quantum applications. Adamant Namiki plans to commercialize the product in 2023.
