Indium Corporation Expert to Present at SEMI-THERM
February 28, 2020 | Indium CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Indium Corporation’s Miloš Lazi?, Technical Support Engineer will present on metal thermal interface materials during the 36th Annual Semiconductor Thermal Measurement, Modeling and Management Symposium (SEMI-THERM), March 16-20, San Jose, Calif., USA.
Gallium-based liquid metal has been used as a thermal interface material (TIM) in niche applications for years. In Innovations in Liquid Metal Thermal Interface Materials, Lazi? will examine the key challenges and material characteristics that have limited their more widespread adoption despite their high conductivity. He will also identify several material innovations that overcome, or minimize, some of those challenges.
Lazi? provides technical support to customers throughout the western United States, including guidance and recommendations as it relates to process steps, equipment, techniques, and materials. He also delivers technical training to other engineers and industry partners. He attended the University of Nis, school of Electronic Engineering, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and master’s degree (M. Eng.) in electronic engineering. Lazi? is a founder of the non-profit organization, “Urban Youth Forum,” which successfully encourages students to plan, develop, and execute projects involving environmental protection through the recycling of electronic waste.
Indium Corporation is a premier materials manufacturer and supplier to the global electronics, semiconductor, thin-film, and thermal management markets. Products include solders and fluxes; brazes; thermal interface materials; sputtering targets; indium, gallium, germanium, and tin metals and inorganic compounds; and NanoFoil®. Founded in 1934, the company has global technical support and factories located in China, India, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the USA.

Beyond Thermal Conductivity: Exploring Polymer-based TIM Strategies for High-power-density Electronics
10/13/2025 | Padmanabha Shakthivelu and Nico Bruijnis, MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsAs power density and thermal loads continue to increase, effective thermal management becomes increasingly important. Rapid and efficient heat transfer from power semiconductor chip packages is essential for achieving optimal performance and ensuring long-term reliability of temperature-sensitive components. This is particularly crucial in power systems that support advanced applications such as green energy generation, electric vehicles, aerospace, and defense, along with high-speed computing for data centers and artificial intelligence (AI).
Is Glass Finally Coming of Age?
10/13/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Substrates, by definition, form the base of all electronic devices. Whether discussing silicon wafers for semiconductors, glass-and-epoxy materials in printed circuits, or the base of choice for interposers, all these materials function as substrates. While other substrates have come and gone, silicon and FR-4 have remained the de facto standards for the industry.
