Abstract: Diamond possesses a multitude of excellent properties, with the highest hardness and thermal conductivity among natural materials, wide light transmission range and excellent electrical properties, making it significantly applicable in precision machining, electronic information, defense industry and aerospace. In recent years, the continuous advancement of microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) technology has greatly expanded the application scenarios for diamond materials. Its end-use applications have gradually extended from the initial abrasive tools to high-end fields. Notable examples include the high-quality synthesis of diamond in the jewelry industry, efficient thermal management solutions for high-power electronic devices, superior infrared transmission and laser damage resistance in optical components, and emerging potential in semiconductor and quantum technologies. This paper systematically elaborates on the core principles and growth control methods of MPCVD diamond preparation technology. Following the logical mainline of technical principles, performance optimization, industrial applications and bottleneck breakthroughs, the study offers an in-depth analysis of the current status, key technical challenges and research advances across four major application domains: lab-grown diamond, thermal management, optics and semiconductors. Furthermore, combined with technological development trends and market demand, the future prospects in cutting-edge fields such as next-generation power electronics and aerospace are discussed in this paper, with the aim of providing theoretical insights and strategic directions for the technological advancement and industrial implementation of MPCVD diamond materials.
