We are therefore looking forward to working together and further developing the process for synthesizing diamond."Audiatec, founded in 2015, uses the CVD method (chemical vapor deposition) to synthesize diamond in monocrystalline form on disks with a diameter of up to 100mm.Diamond Foundry, a Silicon Valley startup valued at $1.8bn, announced plans in April to open a second factory abroad as it ramps up production.Pic courtesy Audiatec
