CLINTON, NY – As one of the leading materials providers to the power electronics assembly industry, Indium Corporation experts will share their technical insight and knowledge on a variety of industry-related topics throughout PCIM Europe, May 9-11, in Nuremberg, Germany.

Tuesday, May 9

• Materials for Low Warpage Power Module Assembly: Energy and C02 Reduction Through Low-Temperature Processes by Regional Technical Manager and Technologist – Advanced Applications Andreas Karch
  • • This presentation examines different material properties, such as CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion), which cause assembly difficulties at higher process temperatures. Lowering peak temperature during soldering counteracts this and saves additional energy.
    • The presentation will be given in German.

Wednesday, May 10

• Power Electronics Materials and Process Optimization by Product Manager – ESM/Power Electronics Joe Hertline
  • This presentation will analyze key power module packaging architectures and corresponding soldering, sintering, thermal interface, and assembly materials solutions that can increase product life, enable manufacturing scalability, and reduce cost of ownership.
• The Role of Sintering Materials Technology in EV Power Module Applications by Product Manager – Semiconductor Dean Payne
  • In this presentation, Dean will examine how sintering is used in die-attach and substrate-attach applications and how technological advancement of this material enables a more efficient manufacturing process in EV power module assembly.
