Title: Kwang Yong Eun: Innovator in Diamond Synthesis Technology
Introduction
Kwang Yong Eun is a prominent inventor based in Seoul, South Korea. He has made significant contributions to the field of materials science, particularly in the synthesis of diamond powders. With a total of 12 patents to his name, his work has advanced the methods and technologies used in diamond film deposition.
Latest Patents
Among his latest patents is an innovative apparatus and method for synthesizing spherical diamond powder using the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. This invention discloses a technique to synthesize diamond powders with sizes ranging from several tens of nanometers to several micrometers in diameter. The process involves inducing gas phase nucleation on the boundary of plasmas, resulting in the accumulation of spherical diamond powders on the circumferences of a normal substrate. A modification of the substrate structure has enabled the large area accumulation of diamond powders, achieving diameters of around 100 mm.
Another notable patent is for a diamond film depositing apparatus and method. This invention allows for the formation of a uniform and large plasma on a substrate larger than 100 mm without the need for a heated filament cathode, magnetic field, or ballast resistance. The stable plasma formed can deposit a diamond thick film with a diameter exceeding 4 inches and a thickness of over hundreds of micrometers on both flat and curved substrates, including silicon wafers.
