Making Diamond Semiconductors

About Kara

Kara is building diamond semiconductors. We begin with growing ultra-high purity diamond wafers for advanced hardware. Used in data centers, spacecrafts, RF systems, and quantum hardware, our diamond moves heat up to 5Γ— better than copper, helping critical systems run cooler, faster, and more reliably. Diamond has spent centuries as a symbol. We are turning it into infrastructure.
