When I started my summer as the Technical Support engineering intern at Indium Corporation, I expected to observe, take notes, and ease into the engineering world slowly. Instead, I was surprised by

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a fascination with science. My specific interests have bounced around extensively and, at one time or another, included geology, archaeology, chemistry,

It’s no secret that indium and indium-silver solder thermal interface materials (TIMs) show great potential for maximizing thermal performance in high-performance computing (HPC) and AI

Creating My Custom Internship  This summer, I had the unique chance to create a custom internship at Indium Corporation that combined my interests in business, finance, and product

In our previous guide, we introduced the world of low-temperature soldering and its growing importance in modern electronics assembly. Now, we will take a deeper dive into one of the key enabling

In electronics assembly, the soldering process is fundamental to creating reliable connections. Traditionally, this involves high reflow temperatures, often exceeding 240°C. However, as components

Computing power is surging across high-performance markets like AI, data centers, HPC, and automotive power electronics. As devices push the boundaries of performance, managing heat becomes a

Building Significant Connections What began as a fun side project from my manager, Luanne—interviewing team members to get to know the department—has blossomed into meaningful connections with

My Journey into Applications Engineering In the summer of 2024, I completed an internship in environmental health and safety (EHS) at Indium Corporation, where I spent most of my time in an office

Embracing Growth: My Daily Learning Journey Throughout my STEM internship at Indium Corporation, not a day has gone by that I haven’t learned something new. It’s a bold claim, but I know it’s

My Background and First Impressions I came into this internship with a background in game development, not entirely sure what to expect or how this experience would apply to my career

As a mechanical engineering major and mathematics minor at SUNY Polytechnic Institute, certain company names naturally become familiar over time. One of the most prominent is Indium

In my previous blog post on formic acid soldering, I explained the technology of formic acid reflow soldering, the applications in which it can be beneficial over traditional reflow soldering, the

As the first day of my summer internship at Indium Corporation approached, I had no idea that a personality quiz would become the key to understanding both myself and the team around

Indium oxidation is not merely a surface phenomenon—it plays a critical role in the performance and reliability of high-precision applications, including semiconductors, AI, high-performance

At Indium Corporation, we understand the challenges related to power electronics assembly; devices are increasing in complexity, while demands on performance and reliability grow stronger. On top of

Folks, The creation of solder balls, when assembling passive discrete components, has been an issue for decades (see Figure 1). The discovery that the “home plate” stencil aperture design

In the world of medical device manufacturing, where reliability and precision are critical, materials used in the assembly must meet the highest

Achieving efficiency, reliability, and exceptional thermal performance is crucial in package-attach soldering applications for power modules. However, the high reflow temperatures required by

A little over a year ago, I posted about the increase in interest regarding Cu sintering. In the past 12 months, that interest has has surged, highlighting Cu sintering's suitability for various
