Insulated
gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) and super junction metal oxide field
effect transistors (MOSFETs) are widely used as switches in a variety
of power electronics systems, including wind turbines, uninterrupted
power supplies (UPS), rail tractions, PV inverters, electric and
hybrid electric vehicles, and a host of other industrial
applications. IGBTs and super junction MOSFETs compete against other
switching devices and technologies such as traditional MOSFETs,
gallium nitride, and silicon carbide owing to higher efficiency and
faster switching. IGBTs and super junction MOSFETs are preferred
especially in applications requiring high input impedance and high
voltage.

Market Information of IGBT and Super Junction MOSFET -
Both
IGBT and super junction MOSFETs come in discrete as well as module
forms. Growth of the discrete market is driven by increasing demand
for consumer electronic products while modules have found significant
uptake in photovoltaic inverters, and electric and hybrid electric
vehicles (EV/HEV). Key application areas for IGBT and super junction
MOSFETs include uninterrupted power supply (UPS), wind turbines,
photovoltaic (PV) inverter, rail traction, consumer applications,
electric vehicles/hybrid electric vehicles (EV/HEV), motor drives,
industrial applications, converters, adapters and chargers, lighting,
and others (servers, telecom and networking devices, etc.).. Super
junction MOSFETs have been emerging as a more suitable power
semiconductor for, converters, adapters and chargers, lighting, and
other (servers, telecom and networking devices, etc.) application
areas and are expected to find higher adoption in these segments as
compared to IGBT over the coming years. Among all application
segments for IGBT and super junction MOSFETs, industrial application
was the single largest segment by revenue in 2012. The industrial
application sector has seen high demand for energy efficient power
semiconductor products in recent years and this has propelled the
uptake of IGBT in this segment.
