  • Abstract
    Indium is often used as a solder material which also plays a role of thermal interface e.g. in power LED systems. Indium and copper forms the intermetallic compounds. The growth rate constant at 400 K between copper and indium by the molecular dynamics simulations, as well as, experimentally was investigated. The results shown that the growth of the intermetallic compound in both cases follows the parabolic low, which indicates that the growth was mainly controlled by volume diffusion.
