There is no mention of its thickness, but from calculation using its mass, and approximating its shape as a cylinder, it's approximately 1mm.

Here's a better picture of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Single-crystal_CVD_diamon...

The description in your link has the thickness: Freestanding unpolished diamond single crystal synthesized by heteroepitaxy on Ir/YSZ/Si(001). The thickness of the disc is 1.6 ± 0.25 mm and its weight is 155 carat.
