Market Overview

Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor [IGBT] is fundamentally a voltage-controlled power electronics device, replacing the conventional power BJTs and MOSFETs, as a switching device. Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors [IGBT] are suitable for high-voltage, high-current applications, they are designed to drive high-power applications with a low-power input.  IGBT is used to provide fast switching with high efficiency, with a constant power supply and it is done by decreasing the excessive power supply. It lowers the heat tension on the electric devices or appliances by introducing lower switch loss which results in increases in the lifespan of the device. The IGBT is the second most widely used power transistor, after the power MOSFET, which accounts for 30% of the power transistor market. The IGBT is widely used in consumer electronics, industrial technology, automotive (EV/HEV), inverters/UPS, the energy sector, aerospace electronic devices, and transportation.
