The insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is a three-terminal power semiconductor device primarily used as an electronic switch which, as it was developed, came to combine high efficiency and fast switching.
As one of the important power of mainstream power electronics devices, IGBT has been widely used.
Applications of IGBT:
2006-2010 Sales of Global IGBT (Unit: Billion $):
Global IGBT market was $ 4.0 billion in 2014, and is expected is expected to reach $ 7.8 billion by 2019, at a CAGR of 9.45% from 2015 to 2019. The APAC is the largest region for IGBT market and has been identified as the fastest-growing region, China鈥檚 IGBT market is set for rapid growth in the coming years, with revenue by 2019 more than doubling to $ 6.2 billion from $ 3.2 billion in 2014, at a CAGR of 10% from 2014 to 2019.
So far IGBT’s core technology and industry for most European and American semiconductor manufacturers of IDM dominate, in June 2014, China successfully developed the 8-inch professional IGBT chip, break the international monopoly.
