John,

    Funny you should ask this question. Last night at our diamond class
    here in Tampa we visited a lab on campus that is working on making
    these type of applications. They are synthesizing diamonds in wafers.
    We asked a similar question. From the technique that they use, it
    seems there is a problem with adhering to the host surface. I would
    think that in the future the techniques will be perfected to
    accommodate this. It was amazing the potential for all the
    applications in synthesizing. Our host told us the technique has been
    around for over 20 years, most labs now at different universities are
    working on application use.
