Top 10 global power semiconductor IGBT companies
IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor), is a composite fully-controlled voltage-driven power semiconductor device composed of BJT (bipolar transistor) and MOS (insulated gate field effect transistor). IGBT has the advantages of high input impedance of MOSFET and low conduction voltage drop of GTR. IGBT is widely used in rail transit, smart grid, aerospace, electric vehicles and new energy equipment.
In recent years, under the general trend of international energy conservation and environmental protection, new energy vehicles, frequency conversion household appliances, new energy power generation and other fields downstream of IGBT have developed rapidly, and the demand for IGBT modules has gradually expanded. The accelerated development of emerging industries will continue to promote the rapid growth of the IGBT market, IGBT companies are also accelerating their development. Let’s take a look at the top 10 global power semiconductor IGBT companies.

IGBT stands for insulated-gate bipolar transistor. It is a bipolar transistor with an insulated gate terminal. The IGBT combines, in a single device, a control input with a MOS structure and a bipolar power transistor that acts as an output switch. IGBTs are suitable for high-voltage, high-current applications.
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.
