Qui, I have used silver epoxy to bond GaAs chips in the past with varying success. It works fairly well in a low duty cycle device that remains cool. Since you are bonding to diamond, I assume that you are trying to remove heat from the device. Unfortunately, silver epoxy has very poor thermal characteristics and you will therefore not derive the benefits of bonding to diamond. A better way would be to use indium (soft solder) or Au-Sn solder (more brittle). If you have other specific questions, feel free to contact me directly.
