Abstract

A process for making metallized vias in diamond substrates is disclosed. The process involves laser-drilling a plurality of holes in a CVD diamond substrate and depositing tungsten, or a similar refractory metal, in the holes by low pressure CVD to provide substantially void-free metallized vias. Diamond substrates having metallized vias are also disclosed. The structures are useful for making multichip modules for high clock rate computers.
