Description:
Indium is a very soft, silvery-white, highly ductile and relatively rare metal that exhibits a bright lustre. It exists as a single crystal without pores.
It is employed in ITO foils and soldering materials in the electronics industry. It is also used for sealing components in low‐temperature and vacuum conditions, soluble anodes and control rods for nuclear reactors.
High purity evaporation materials play a principal role in deposition processes to ensure that the deposited layers achieve high quality. Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) has specialised in producing indium evaporation materials with a purity of up to 99,999 %. It employs quality assurance processes to maintain product reliability.

Applications:
1. Semiconductor devices: Indium is used in the manufacture of conductive layers, metal interconnects and soldering materials in integrated circuits, solar cells and displays.
2. Liquid crystal displays: Indium is applied as the electrode material in LCD devices, including televisions, computer monitors and smartphone screens.
3. Vacuum evaporation: Indium is utilised as a raw material for vacuum evaporation. It is also used in the production of thin films and coatings for optical components, optical coatings and thin film resistors.
4. Solder materials: Given its low melting point and favourable solder properties, indium is used as solder in electronic assemblies such as printed circuit boards.
5. Medicine: Indium is used as a raw material in the production of medical electrodes and implantable materials. This includes applications in pacemakers and artificial joints.
