MEMS/NEMS technologies like pressure sensor, accelerometer and different actuators. As a biocompatible material, diamond films have lot of applications in biomedical purpose such as orthopedic, cardiovascular, contact lenses, catheter, prosthetic replacement etc. Also the UNCD films have much more cells attachment, cell spreading and nuclear coverage area compared to another materials. Which confirms the biocompatibility issue of UNCD materilas. The chemical inertness, biocompatibility and excellent thermal conductivity of diamond, DLC and DLN films can be exploited in the development of biosensors,
