High temperature and high pressure method VS chemical vapor deposition method

High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT):
高溫高壓法(HPHT)是人為模擬天然鑽石在地下200公里深處的溫度、壓力,將鑽石晶種放置於大型的機力壓機中施加高壓以及高溫。機器能夠產生非常高的壓力和溫度。溫度約為1300度攝氏至1500度攝氏,壓力約為40,000至60,000個大氣壓力。碳晶格會根據鑽石晶種重新排列,並變成鑽石,隨時間長出一層層的鑽石結晶,直到生長至需要的克拉重量。
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD):
The basic principle of CVD is to place the diamond seed in an ion gas reactor in a vacuum and introduce a carbon-rich gas at low temperatures. Through the high-temperature decomposition of methane gas, plasma of carbon atoms is generated, allowing the carbon atoms to form a thin film on the diamond and deposit diamond layers.
