A process of making a product which comprises at least two layers in contact with each other, each layer being of a wide-gap material and each layer differing from each other in at least one property, includes the steps of: (i) providing a substrate of a wide-band gap material having a surface and a region adjacent the surface having a particular characteristic, (ii) ion implanting the substrate through the surface to form a damaged layer below that surface, (iii) growing a layer of a wide-band gap material by chemical vapour deposition on at least a portion of the surface of the substrate through which ion implantation occurred, the material of the grown layer having a characteristic different to that of the region of the substrate adjacent the surface through which ion implantation occurred, and (iv) severing the substrate through the damaged layer. The wide-gap material is preferably diamond. |
