According to whether the diamond contains N or does not contain N, the diamonds are divided into type I diamonds and type II diamonds, and then divided into type Ia diamonds and type Ib diamonds according to the different forms of the original N in the crystal lattice.
Diamonds are divided into type IIa diamonds and type IIb diamonds according to whether they contain P or contain P.
Type I Diamond | Type II Diamond | |||
TypeⅠa | TypeⅠb | Type Ⅱa | Type Ⅱb | |
The N content is 0.1%-0.3%, and N exists in the form of small aggregates in the diamond crystal. | The N content is<0.1%, and the N is in a separate dispersed state in the diamond crystal. | No N, no P | No N, a small amount of P | |
color | white,fancy vivid yellow | white、fancy light yellow、brown | white、brown、pink | blue、gray |
Type Ia diamonds:
N atoms come in the form of N atom pairs or N3 centers, the more N3 centers, the yellower the diamond. 98% of natural diamonds are type Ia.

Type Ib diamonds:
N atoms exist alone, most of which are synthetic diamonds. Under certain temperature, pressure and time, type Ib can be transformed into type Ia diamond.

Type IIa diamonds:
N atoms exist in a free state and have good thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity at room temperature is 5 times that of copper. It is an excellent heat dissipation material in the electronics industry.
Type IIb diamonds:
It is a semiconductor, the only one among diamonds that can conduct electricity, and can be used as a thermal sensor to measure temperature.

CVD Single-Crystal Diamonds: An Analysis of the Complete Processing Workflow from Gas-Phase Deposition to Finished Diamond Chips
MPCVD (Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition) technology is currently the core process for producing high-quality single-crystal diamond s. Thanks to its advantages of low defect rates, high purity, and controllable large dimensions, it is widely used in fields such as semiconductor heat dissipation, precision optics, and high-end sensors. The final quality of single-crystal diamond s depends on comprehensive process control throughout the entire workflow—from vapor deposition growth to pos
Single-Crystal or Polycrystalline Diamond — Which Has Greater Potential?
As diamond continues to enter industries such as semiconductors, thermal management, optics, high-power electronics, and precision machining, the requirements for diamond materials are also evolving.
Diamond Polishing and Grinding Processes: Core Challenges and Industry Hurdles
Diamond is often hailed as the “ultimate material” – ranking 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, boasting an ultra‑high thermal conductivity (~2,200 W/(m·K)), excellent chemical stability, and broad optical transparency. These properties make it irreplaceable in cutting‑edge applications such as semiconductor heat dissipation, high‑end optics, and quantum chips. Yet the paradox of “good materials are hard to process” is nowhere more evident than in diamond. From rough grinding for planarization to at
Single-Crystal vs Polycrystalline CVD Diamond: Process Difference Lies in Growth Logic, Not Equipment
The process difference between singlecrystal and polycrystalline CVD diamond lies not in equipment, but in growth logic. Singlecrystal and polycrystalline CVD diamond are two functional new materials with completely independent growth mechanisms, lattice structures and performance systems. Their process logic, product features and application boundaries diverge fundamentally from the very start of deposition and growth. Comparing or selecting materials without considering their underlying crys
