Are you having a tough time figuring out how to hold a fragile part during machining steps? I have an idea for you: hold it with a fusible alloy.
Read MoreWe are back today to finish our conversation with Miloš Lazić to find out how he became interested in liquid metals.
Read MoreYesterday, in Part 2 of our interview, Miloš mentioned how using a hybrid solid/liquid TIM provides benefits over thermal grease. Today we discuss the challenges of working with liquid metal, and how to address these issues.
Read MoreHigh-Purity indium is used as the starting material in the manufacture of indium-based groups III-V, including:
These compounds semiconductors find use in ultra-high efficiency photovoltaic solar cells, infrared detectors, infrared LEDs, and electronic switching applications where silicon-based devices are not suitable.
High-purity indium is also used as the starting material and reacted with Ga, P, Sb, etc. to produce polycrystalline InGa, InP, InSb, etc. The poly crystalline compound is then grown into a single crystal using Czochralski or Bridgeman single-crystal growth techniques to produce a single-crystal boule. The boule is then sliced into wafers, which are subsequently fabricated into individual semiconductor devices.
High-purity indium is also used as the source material for semiconductor epitaxial layering using liquid phase, vapor phase, or molecular beam epitaxy.
High-purity indium is available as ingots and shot in 6N and 6H5 purities.
