综述了CVD金刚石厚膜的工具应用。第一个应用是切割工具。研究了小直径立铣刀和刀片的切削性能。二是耐磨工具；TAB（磁带自动粘合）工具。它们用于将半导体器件与引线连接起来。介绍了CVD金刚石片刀具的实验结果。

TOOL APPLICATIONS OF CVD DIAMOND THICK FILMS ARE REVIEWED. THE FIRST APPLICATION IS CUTTING TOOLS. CUTTING PERFORMANCES OF SMALL-DIAMETER ENDMILLS AND INSERTS WERE EXAMINED. THE SECOND IS WEAR RESISTANT TOOLS; TAB (TAPE AUTOMATED BONDING) TOOLS. THESE ARE USED IN BONDING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES WITH LEAD WIRES. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS ON CVD DIAMOND TAB TOOLS ARE DESCRIBED.
