Indium Technical Expert to Present at SiP Conference China
December 8, 2023 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Indium Corporation Senior Area Technical Manager for East China Leo Hu is scheduled to deliver a presentation on the application of new soldering thermal interface materials (TIMs) in advanced packaging at SiP China Conference 2023 on December 13 in Shanghai.
As high-performance computing, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and autonomous driving applications continue to develop, increased power is required for CPUs and GPUs. In turn, increased computing power generates exponentially more heat. The use of indium or indium-based alloy as soldering TIMs is considered to be one of the best solutions to this challenge. As a result, Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) companies in China and other countries have intensified research and development in this area.
“Indium Corporation has 90 years of experience in the production of pure indium and indium-based alloys and more than 20 years in applying solder TIMs,” said Hu. “I look forward to sharing this collective expertise with my colleagues as we explore the innovation and application of solder TIMs with respect to alloys, fluxes, and manufacturing processes.”
As Senior Area Technical Manager for East China, Hu manages the technical support team in East China, and collaborates with global technical support teams to provide Indium Corporation customers with product and application solutions. He has more than 15 years of experience in semiconductor packaging and possesses expertise in advanced assembly technology development, process improvement, and assembly materials applications. Hu earned a master’s degree in IC engineering from the Chinese Academy of Science and a bachelor’s degree in electronic information science and technology from Nankai University, Tianjin, China.

Critical Minerals: The New Power Play in Global Trade
10/13/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Access to critical minerals essential for electronics manufacturing, and China’s monopoly of them, is increasingly under scrutiny, with gallium (Ga) and germanium (Ge)at the forefront of this discourse. However, all critical minerals imported from China share a similar narrative, and understanding the implications of this dependency and the risks to both U.S. commercial and defense sectors has created an urgent need for a comprehensive electronics strategy to secure and diversify access to these vital minerals. In this candid interview, USPAE Executive Director Jim Will discusses the issues and the mitigation steps that must be taken to adequately address them.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
09/26/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Though the news cycle felt a little less exclamatory this week, there were many global business news headlines worth revisiting. Among them, China announced a bold carbon emissions goal of 10% over the next decade to double its solar and wind power capacity. The Wall Street Journal published an article, “Global Port Leaders See Trade Shifting, Not Slowing,” a nod to businesses’ risk mitigation strategies and execution around overreliance on China coming into play in a bigger way.
