Apollo Diamond Inc. was a company based in Boston, Massachusetts that produced nearly flawless single crystal diamond wafers and crystals for the optoelectronics, nanotechnology, and consumer gem markets. The company pioneered chemical vapor deposition (CVD) for the production of gem-sized synthetic diamond crystals, leading to several U.S. patents on the process. The company advertises colorless gems, in contrast to existing synthetic diamonds which are usually colored.[1]
Many assets of Apollo Diamond were acquired by Scio Diamond Technology Corporation in 2011, which is producing synthetic diamond at its South Carolina facility using Apollo Diamond technology.[2]
