Sono-Tek Corporation announced a technical collaboration with Diamond Quanta to integrate precision ultrasonic coating technology into manufacturing workflows for engineered diamond applications. The partnership focuses on supporting repeatable thin-film deposition and multilayer integration across engineered diamond-on-glass and engineered-diamond materials used in optics, thermal, semiconductor, and quantum systems.
The collaboration aims to strengthen process repeatability, film uniformity, and manufacturability as Diamond Quanta advances its materials platform toward original equipment manufacturer qualification and scalable manufacturing environments. Diamond Quanta has described its approach as a standardized process architecture designed to integrate engineered diamond interfaces into repeatable, qualification-ready manufacturing workflows compatible with existing semiconductor and electronics toolchains.
Through this collaboration, Sono-Tek systems are expected to support repeatable thin-film deposition within multilayer diamond stacks, improved coating uniformity and process consistency, structured progression toward OEM qualification environments, and alignment with established semiconductor and electronics manufacturing ecosystems. Steve Harshbarger, Chief Executive Officer of Sono-Tek, stated that their precision ultrasonic coating systems are designed to enable consistent, high-uniformity thin-film integration across advanced device architectures.
Adam Khan, Founder and CEO of Diamond Quanta, emphasized that establishing a repeatable manufacturing architecture requires not only breakthrough materials but standardized process modules that OEMs can adopt with confidence. The collaboration strengthens the integration layer of Diamond Quanta's engineered diamond-on-glass platform and supports disciplined progression toward scalable qualification.

This collaboration is significant because it addresses a critical bottleneck in the adoption of engineered diamond materials: the lack of standardized, repeatable manufacturing processes. By combining Diamond Quanta's materials expertise with Sono-Tek's precision coating technology, the partnership paves the way for engineered diamonds to be integrated into high-volume production environments for semiconductors, optics, and quantum computing. The emphasis on OEM qualification suggests that these materials are moving closer to commercial viability, potentially enabling faster, more efficient devices with superior thermal management.
Sono-Tek Corporation designs and manufactures precision ultrasonic coating systems used to apply thin films across a wide range of advanced manufacturing applications. The company's systems serve customers in microelectronics, alternative energy, medical devices, advanced industrial manufacturing, and research and development markets worldwide. Sono-Tek's technology enables uniform, repeatable thin-film deposition and supports the transition from development to scalable production environments.
