    Notes: The thick braze alloy coating can hold diamond much firmer than thin element coatings(Ti, Cr, Si) of commercial saw diamond grits. Moreover, the braze alloy can form metallurgicalbonding readily with the metal matrix of saw segments. As a result, diamond saws that employABCD can cut much faster and last much longer than conventional designs.ABCD can be planted in metal matrix to form three dimensional pattern, the chemical bondingof diamond and its controlled spacing can virtually eliminate diamond loss due to pullouts anddiamond breakage due to excessive impact force. The greatly increased number of workingcrystals can extend the segment life by one order of magnitude.With the thick coating, ABCD can join together to form needles or plates that could not bepossible with thinly coated diamond. The ABCD needles or plates can be planted or arranged in ametal matrix to form a three-dimensional structure. Such unique designs can greatly expand thefunctions of diamond saws

    Notes: The fundamental characteristics of dressing action on the polyurethane pad areinvestigated via dressing by single diamond of different orientations, dressing parameters anddressing path in this study. Experimental results show that a groove with pile-up on both side wallsforms as the diamond moves over the pad with a specific dressing depth. The resulting asperities onthe pad are strongly affected by the diamond orientation. Plowing is found to be the majormechanism responsible for this surface topology if dressing is conducted by the face of a diamond.On the contrary, cutting action dominates when the point of a diamond is responsible for dressing. Itis also found that dressing velocity has an insignificant effect on the groove and ridges created onthe pad. The depth of the groove is smaller than the dressing depth due to the spring back of the pad.When the groove created is repeatedly dressed over the same track, the ridge height and groovedepth increases for each additional dressing. When two grooves cross each other, the ridges at thefour corners of the intersection grow while the depth of the overlapped area decreases. These ridgeswill become the pressure enhancer of the abrasives to polish the wafer

    Notes: Diamond grits synthesized under ultrahigh pressure have been commerciallymanufactured since 1957. Most of the diamond grits are for sawing rocks (granite, marble) andconcrete. In 2004, more than 4 billion carats (800 tons) of diamond saw grits were producedworldwide. About 3/4 of total production was made in China, but the Chinese diamond grits tendto be smaller in size (〈40 mesh) and with inferior quality, so their total value accounts for only 1/4of the world sales (about $600 millions).The ultrahigh pressure process for synthesizing diamond grits is due to make a quantum leap:the raw materials will incorporate diamond seeds with a predetermined pattern. The result isdoubling the diamond yield with a narrower size distribution. Moreover, the shape of diamondcrystals can be precisely tuned. For example, diamond octahedra or diamond cubes, that are notavailable today, can be mass-produced. The new technology is now being implementedworldwide so the future diamond grits will have improved quality at reduced prices

    Notes: Although diamond tools have been used for over a century, the diamond grits distributionin the matrix is not uniform. This is because the large and light diamond grits tend to segregate fromthe small and heavy metal powder during the mixing process, hence diamond distribution in thediamond tools is intrinsically heterogeneous. As a result, the cutting performance of the diamondtools cannot be optimized.In 1997, Dr. James Chien-Min Sung applied two historical patents that can allow the design ofdiamond distribution according to a predetermined pattern. As the result, the life of diamond toolsmay be doubled; and the cutting speed, may also be twice as high. The three-dimensional sawsegments with arrayed diamond grits were made back in 1999 with the improved performance aspredicted. The Sung invention can allow the diamond tools industry to make ideal saw segment thathas variable diamond size and diamond separation at different regions.Conventional diamond saws contain diamond grits that are distributed randomly in a metalmatrix, as a result, their cutting speeds are slow and their sawing lives are short. In 1997, Dr.James C. Sung applied new patents that revealed revolutionary technology for making diamondtools with diamond grits set in a predetermined pattern. The diamond placement design was firstappeared in a series of DiaGrid® products, such as wire saws and grinding wheels. In 1999,DiaGrid® pad conditioners was introduced and it has since become the world's standard for dressingpads, particularly those used for chemical mechanical planarization of semiconductor devices. In2005, Shinhan adapted the idea and produced saw segments with diamond grits set in apredetermined pattern, their results confirmed that the sawing speed and the life were significantlyimproved over conventional designs

    Notes: Diamond grits in tools are typically held in a sintered matrix of metal powder (e.g. Co). Thebonding between diamond and the matrix is essentially mechanical. As a result, most diamondgrits are easily knocked out from the tool during cutting. The diamond industry has designedvarious metal coatings (e.g. Ti, Cr, Si) to improve the adherence of diamond grits in the matrix, butthe improvements have been modest (e.g. up to 50% increase of tool life).A revolutionary “Active Braze Coated Diamond” (ABCD) is now being developed. Thecoating of ABCD is much thicker (e.g. 20 microns) than conventional ones (about 1 micron). Themolten braze is wetted and reacted with diamond to form strong chemical bond at the interface sothat the diamond does not become knocked out of tools.ABCD is coated with a nickel alloy that can form metallurgical diffusion bonds readily withthe metal matrix of the tool. In essence, ABCD turns diamond into a metal grain so that thediamond tools can be made by conventional powder metallurgical process without being concernedabout the poor bonding between matrix metal powder and the diamond as before

    Notes: Amorphous diamond can emit electrons in vacuum when applied with an electrical fieldof only a few volts per micron. It is also extremely thermionic so the emitted current can increasemillions times when heated to only a few hundreds degrees centigrade. As a result, amorphousdiamond can be a thermal generator or a solar cell. The energy conversion efficiency can have muchhigher (e.g. 50%) than that (e.g. 15%) of silicon based solar cells that can absorb only a narrowspectrum of sun light. As a solar cell, amorphous diamond has another advantage that its radiationhardness is the highest of all materials, hence, its thermal electricity efficiency will not attenuate asdoes the solar cell based on photo electric semiconductorls.An immediate application of amorphous diamond is to coat it on electron emitting electrodes,such as that used as cold cathode fluorescence lamps (CCFL) that illuminate liquid crystal displays(LCD) for fornote books and television sets. Amorphous diamond can dramatically reduce theturn-on voltage to lit CCFL so the lamp life can be greatly extended. Moreover, the electricalcurrent can be increased to enhance the brightness of the light

    Notes: Kinik Company pioneered diamond pad conditioners protected by DLC barrier(DiaShield® Coating) back in 1999 (Sung & Lin, US Patent 6,368,198) and there has been nofollower since then. Kinik's offered two varieties of DiaShield® Coatings: ultrahard tetrahedralamorphous carbon and superhard hydrogenated DLC. Kink also evaluated Cermet CompositeCoating (CCC or C3, patent pending). C3 is unique that the coating composition grades from ametallic (e.g. stainless steel) under layer to a ceramic (e.g. Al2O3 or SiC) exterior. The metallicunder layer can form metallurgical bond with metallic matrix on the diamond pad conditioner.The ceramic exterior is both wear and corrosion resistant. The gradational design of C3 coatingwill assure its strong adherence to the substrate because there is no weak boundary between coatingand substrate.By dipping diamond pad conditioners of various designs in acidic solution (e.g. coppercleaning solution) for extended periods of time (e.g. 50 hours) the chemical inertness of variousmatrix materials are determined with the decreasing ranking as: hydrogenated DLC 〉 C3 coating 〉tetrahedral amorphous carbon 〉 sintered nichrome 〉 brazed alloy 〉 electroplated nickel

    Notes: The motive analysis included in Nelson's (2004) textual critique of the writings regarding communibiology is examined and found erroneous. It is suggested that the claim that traditional genre theories are contradicted by this analysis is not justified. The motives for communibiological texts alleged by Nelson are seen as preempted by the (conscious or nonconscious) motives of the critic.
