Indium Powers the Future with Advanced Materials Solutions at CIPS 2026
February 26, 2026 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
As a leading provider of advanced materials solutions for power device packaging, Indium Corporation® will feature its lineup of high-reliability products at CIPS – International Conference on Integrated Power Electronics Systems, March 10-12, in Dresden, Germany.
Company products to be highlighted include the following:
- Formic Acid Soldering Technology (FAST) is an ideal reflow method for power device packaging. Product offerings, including preforms, InFORMS®, and novel solder pastes, enable high-reliability, flux-free soldering that is ideal for efficient manufacturing of next-generation power electronics.
- Durafuse® HT is an innovative high-temperature lead-free paste that is ideal for discrete power electronics devices. Durafuse® HT can “drop in” to the current high-Pb die-attach paste process, with no special equipment needed. Functional performance and thermal cycling reliability are both equal to or higher than those of a high-Pb solder.
- InFORMS® are reinforced solder preforms that improve mechanical strength and produce consistent bondline thickness for superior reliability performance compared to traditional solder preforms, particularly in power module applications.
- Indalloy®301LT for Preforms/InFORMS® is a novel Pb-free alloy that enables lower reflow-processing temperatures compared with SAC alloys, preventing delamination and reducing warpage in package-attach soldering applications.
- InFORCE® pressure sinter pastes are high-metal, low-organic content sinter materials available in both silver and copper. Its low-organic content composition affords short drying times for increased throughput and less volume reduction between wet and post-sintered deposits, reducing the paste amount required.
- InFORCE®29 is a range of pressure Cu sinter pastes for applications where high reliability and high thermal conductivity are critical. Applications for InFORCE®29 include die-attach for Si and SiC power devices and substrate-attach of power modules directly to coolers.

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE): A Valuable Option for Modern Designs
04/20/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007When it comes to designing PCBs and full systems for increasingly complex electronics hardware, who doesn’t want to reduce complexity and cost? Single-Pair Ethernet (SPE) has emerged as a solution and is gaining rapid attention across industrial electronics and PCB design because it enables Ethernet communication over a single twisted pair, replacing the traditional two- or four-pair cabling used in standard Ethernet networks. This seemingly simple shift has significant implications for designers: smaller connectors, reduced cable weight, longer reach, and the ability to carry both data and power over a single pair.
Webinar Review, Part 2: Building the AI Backbone at IBM on Systems-level Packaging
04/20/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007The second presentation in a recent Global Electronics Association’s Executive Pulse webinar series widened the lens on advanced packaging, moving beyond the component level to a systems-level view of how AI is reshaping the electronics landscape. Building on Dr. Hemanth Dhavaleswarupu of AMD’s previous discussion of chip-level packaging innovation, Dr. Jung Yoon of IBM explored the broader infrastructure implications, from the data center floor to the global supply chain.
