jsc2021e066969 (8/18/2021) --- A preflight image of three kinds of substrates (Diamond, Sapphire, Silicon) on the aluminum carrier. The purpose of the Artificial Diamond Substrate Exposure Experiment in Space investigation is to see how a KENZAN Diamondâ„¢ substrate could be affected by severe environments such as outer space. The results can help researchers identify the elements necessary for diamond substrate applications expected in aerospace and next generation semiconductors, as well as improve their quality and reliability.
