The Indium team at the Semi-Therm exhibit

Last week was Semi-Therm and it was a great time. With the economy suffering, I wasn't sure what to expect, but many of you made it out to get your fill of the technical session and exhibitions for the year. 

Thank you to all of you who made it out and either attended one of my presentations or came by and said, "Hello" at the booth.

There were a couple of highlights for me at this show.

1) We had actual samples of liquid metal at the booth.  It's such a unique material, that it was fun to let you get a hands-on feel for the nature of the material.

2) At my presentation on the various types of metal TIMs, I recieved numerous questions on how to process a solder TIM in an Integrated circuit TIM1 application.

In light of these two areas of interest, I will be writing over the next few days to elaborate more than I have in the past on these two classes of material and how they can be used.
