IGBT and Super Junction MOSFET Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2013 - 2019

Albany, NY -- (SBWire) -- 02/03/2017 --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.

The report states that factors such as the rising use of IGBTs and super junction MOSFETs in electric and hybrid vehicles and the rising focus on greater energy efficiency are some of the factors propelling the global IGBT and super junction MOSFET market. The market holds excellent growth opportunities in the flourishing market for smart grids. However, the market is projected to be held back to a certain extent owing to the stiff competition from power semiconductors.
