Latest Patents

Duten is listed as an inventor on 1 patent: “High-Speed Diamond Growth Using a Microwave Plasma in Pulsed Mode.” The patent describes forming a finite-volume plasma near a substrate in a vacuum chamber by applying pulsed microwave discharge to a gas containing hydrogen and carbon. Alternating low- and high-power states generate carbon-containing radicals, which deposit on the substrate to form a diamond film. The method specifies a peak plasma power density of at least 100 W/cm and a substrate temperature between 700°C and 1,000°C.

Career Highlights

Duten’s listed organizational affiliations include the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and Université Paris Nord (Paris XII), Institut Galilée. His patent reflects research into controlling plasma conditions to support rapid production of electronic-quality diamond films.

Collaborations

Duten’s listed coworkers include Guillaume Vincent Lombardi and Antoine Rousseau. Their names are associated with the research and patent work on pulsed-microwave-plasma diamond growth.

Conclusion

Xavier Duten’s patent documents a pulsed-plasma approach to producing diamond films, connecting his research affiliations and collaborations with an innovation in materials manufacturing.
