Indium expert to discuss AI and automotive solder at NEPCON 2025

The presentation, ‘High Reliability and Low-Temperature Solder Solutions for AI and Automotive Application’, will explore cutting-edge solder solutions designed to meet the demanding requirements of the evolving automotive and AI industries. Modern automotive electronics require robust solder solutions that can withstand extreme temperatures while maintaining long-term reliability. Meanwhile, AI applications demand solders compatible with High-Performance Computing (HPC) requirements, where thermal management during processing is critical.

Additionally, Chou will discuss Indium Corporation's innovative Durafuse LT and Durafuse HR solder technologies. These solutions address two critical industry challenges: the need for high-reliability solder joints in high-temperature automotive environments and low-temperature processing solutions for complex AI computing modules.

“As the automotive and AI industries continue to push the boundaries of electronic performance, traditional solder solutions are no longer sufficient,” said Chou. “Durafuse technology represents a significant breakthrough, offering solutions that handle both the intense heat of automotive applications and the precise, low-temperature requirements of AI processing.”
