Unfortunately, they are not used yet. Fabrication problems are the biggest issue (pure diamond is very hard and brittle and diamond film on silicon builds up internal strain causing spontaneous fracturing).
Carbon in the form of either diamond or nanotubes is currently being heavily researched as a possible semiconductor material both because it can operate at junction temperatures as high as 600C and at higher switching speeds both far exceeding other semiconductor materials.

Where are uses for diamond chips?
Diamond chips can always be used for finishing and polishing other diamonds.
What types of prototypes used in diamond chips?
The term 'prototype' and the term 'diamond chips' aren't really connected, since diamond chips are the result of cutting and polishing a diamond stone. Prototype implies something designed and fashioned; diamond chips don't fit into that definition.
Is there any value to diamond chips at all?
Diamond chips do have some value they are used in high performance commercial drills.
Is used to make computers chips?
Not usually, although you can buy them online.
What are diamond chips worth?
Your answer depends on the chips. Some chips can only be used as abrasives to cut and polish other diamonds; other chips -- rather large chips -- can be cut and polished into smaller gemstones. Every diamond is valued individually by its cut, clarity, carat weight and colour.
How can you use the computer in the field of education?
Computers are being used to teach people how to use computers. Computer are being used to teach biology. Computers are being used to teach people how to learn the alphabet
What non metal is used to make microchips?
Silicon is the non-metal used to make micro-chips for computers/electronics.
What are two metalloids used to make computers?
silicon and germanuim are the two metalloid elements that are used to make computer chips
What were computers being used for from 1956-1963?
Second generation computers were used during this period..
Is copper the main metal in computers?
Copper is used in computers for wiring and heat dissipation, but it is not the main metal. The main metals in computers are silicon, aluminum, and steel. Silicon is used in computer chips, aluminum in the casing, and steel for structural support.
What are the advantages of silicon to the computers?

How did silicon chips change the way you compute?
Not at all, except for the first few computers I used (which were built with discrete germanium transistors) every machine I used was built using silicon chips. If the first computer you used was in the 1980s or later, you probably never saw a machine that wasn't entirely silicon chips. Even the germanium transistor machines ran about the same as modern computers, except the I/O which was usually very mechanical.
