What is IGBT?
An insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is a three-terminal power semiconductor device primarily forming an electronic switch.
What is difference between IGBT and MOSFET?
IGBT has ability to handle very high voltage and high power. MOSFET is capable of handling only low to medium voltage and power. IGBT can only be used for relatively low frequencies, up to a few kHz. MOSFET can be used for very high frequency (of the order of MHz) applications.
