Executive Brief
Ecobay Technologies is a leading-edge disinfection solution provider specializing in Far-UVC (222nm) technology. Their flagship product, the EcoBay Care222®, utilizes patented optical filtration and KrCl excimer lamp technology to provide human-safe, continuous sterilization. As a system integrator and HKSTP partner, they focus on "Light Technology" to solve public health challenges in high-traffic environments like hospitals and smart cities.
Strategic Fit & Lead Score
Lead Score: 62/100 (Adjacent Tech / Strong Potential)
Why this Score? Ecobay operates in the Deep UV (UVC) spectrum, where material limitations are the primary bottleneck for efficiency and lifespan. Their current excimer-based systems generate significant heat and require precision optical filtering. 6C's diamond technology offers the world's highest thermal conductivity for lamp cooling and unparalleled radiation hardness for UV-transparent windows, which do not "solarize" (degrade) like traditional glass or polymers under intense 222nm exposure. Furthermore, 6C’s Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) provides a logical product expansion for Ecobay into chemical-free water sterilization.
6C Solutions Proposal
| Application Area | 6C Solution | Technical Value Prop |
|---|---|---|
| Optical Windows | Optical Grade SCD | Diamond is transparent down to ≈225nm. High-purity Single Crystal Diamond (SCD) provides a rugged, chemically inert, and radiation-hard window for Far-UVC emitters that will not degrade or cloud over a 4-year lifespan. |
| Thermal Management | PCD Heat Spreaders | KrCl excimer lamps and UV-LED drivers generate concentrated heat. 6C Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) spreaders (thermal conductivity >2000 W/mK) reduce junction temperatures, extending the device service life beyond the current 4-year limit. |
| Product Expansion | BDD Electrodes | While Ecobay masters "Light" disinfection, 6C can enable them to master "Electrochemical" disinfection. Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) generates hydroxyl radicals (•OH) for instant, chemical-free water sterilization—perfect for Ecobay’s "Sustainable Development" mission. |
| Next-Gen R&D | Custom MPCVD System | To move from lamp-based systems to solid-state UV-C LEDs (AlGaN), Ecobay will face massive thermal barriers. Buying a 6C MPCVD reactor allows them to develop "Diamond-on-GaN" chips in-house to dominate the future of miniaturized UVC. |
| IoT Sensor Durability | Diamond Coatings | Ecobay uses IoT sensors to track infection risks. 6C can provide ultra-thin diamond coatings to protect environmental sensors from the corrosive effects of hospital-grade cleaning agents and high-intensity UV exposure. |
Engagement Hooks
- Technical Question: "As you scale the Care222® technology, how are you addressing the solarization and transmission loss in your optical filters over the 4-year service life? Would a radiation-hard SCD substrate with >90% UV transparency improve your device's sterilization flux?"
- Value Statement: "6C can help Ecobay transition from being a system integrator to a deep-tech component leader by integrating Diamond-based thermal and optical solutions that double the intensity and reliability of Far-UVC disinfection systems."
