Abstract
Novel structures are provided including laminated layers of the diamond film in different patterns for conducting, generating and/or absorbing thermal energy. In particular, a thermal sensor/heater is shown including a doped electrically conductive diamond film layer encapsulated by layers of undoped electrically insulative layers on a silicon wafer. Also, a GaAs/Si on diamond laminate structure is provided in which the diamond film acts as a substrate and a heat sink. Notably, the diamond film structures are characterized by their high thermal conductivity, high chemical resistance, and high hardness/wear resistance due to the properties of the diamond films.
