Silicon vs. Diamond Chips Explained

This document discusses silicon chips and emerging diamond chips. It begins by introducing that silicon is currently used in electronic components but has slow operating speeds, while carbon is more advantageous. It then covers that silicon chips are beneficial as they are inexpensive, abundant and stable. The document outlines that diamond chips could enable faster, stronger and smaller components and discusses how synthetic diamonds can be doped with boron and nitrogen to allow conducting. It also reviews emerging research on carbon nanotubes and artificial diamond production that may help advance diamond chips.
