Short Description

Semiconductor devices form the heart of the power electronics industry and play a pivotal role in the regulation and distribution of energy in the world. The insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), which synergizes the strengths of MOS and bipolar technologies, is the most popular device in the medium power and medium frequency rang for appliance control, uninterruptible power supplies and motor drives. This book covers the theory and design aspects of IGBTs, starting from the selection of starting silicon through device and process design for achieving targeted specifications, to the device packaging.
