Indium to Present High-Performance AI Application Solutions at SEMICON SEA 2026
May 1, 2026 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
As a leading provider of advanced materials solutions enabling today’s demanding AI applications, Indium Corporation® experts will share their technical insight and knowledge on two industry-critical topics at SEMICON SEA 2026, May 5-7, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Monday, May 4, 3:45 p.m. MYT
Advanced Materials Science Solutions for Next-Generation AI and Hyperscale Systems presented by Senior Area Technical Manager Kenneth Thum.
This session presents materials innovations to meet rising AI and hyperscale computing challenges. This includes water-washable flux for fine-pitch micro-bumps, Durafuse® LT low-temperature solder to reduce package warpage, and metal thermal interface materials, including Heat-Spring® technology for extreme thermal management. These solutions create a pathway toward higher yields, greater thermal performance, and reliable operation in next-generation semiconductor systems.
Thursday, May 7, 2 p.m. MYT
Reflow and Reliability of InAg Soldering Thermal Interface Material With and Without Flux for TIM1 and TIM1.5 Applications presented by Assistant Product Manager Foo Siang Hooi.
The presentation explores how indium-silver (InAg) solder thermal interface materials can effectively address escalating thermal demands in AI and high-performance computing. Fluxless InAg alloy performance is evaluated through multiple reflow cycles, measuring void formation and reliability under harsh conditions. The research provides critical insights for achieving superior thermal conductivity, low voiding, and enhanced reliability in next-generation CPU, GPU, and AI accelerator packages.

Below the Surface: Looking Ahead to Where Integration Actually Happens
04/20/2026 | Chandra Gupta -- Column: Below the SurfaceProgress in RF rarely arrives and suddenly rewrites the rules. What actually moves performance forward almost always happens in the seams, the interfaces, the choices that determine whether individual parts are allowed to work together, or forced to fight one another. So, when we look ahead in RF systems—from DC through millimeter-wave—the most important conversations aren’t about isolated materials or heroic devices. They’re about integration, and more specifically, about how ceramic-based RF packages and module architectures shape system-level behavior long before the signal ever reaches free space.
