Transistors - IGBTs - Modules

1. Overview

Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) modules are hybrid semiconductor devices combining the high input impedance of MOSFETs with the low conduction losses of bipolar transistors. They serve as critical components in high-power switching applications, enabling efficient energy conversion in industrial, automotive, and consumer systems. Their ability to handle high voltage/current with fast switching characteristics makes them indispensable in modern power electronics.

2. Main Types and Functional Classification

Type	Functional Characteristics	Application Examples
Standard IGBT Modules	General-purpose, balanced conduction/switching losses	Industrial motor drives, HVAC systems
High-Speed IGBTs	Optimized for switching frequencies >20kHz	Welding inverters, induction heating
Enhanced Dynamic IGBTs	Reduced tail current for lower switching losses	Electric vehicle (EV) on-board chargers
Trench IGBTs	Vertical trench gate structure for improved efficiency	Solar inverters, energy storage systems
Double-Sided Cooling Modules	Thermal management with cooling on both sides	High-power traction systems, wind turbines

3. Structure and Composition

IGBT modules typically consist of multiple IGBT dies and freewheeling diodes mounted on a ceramic substrate (usually Al₂O₃ or Si₃N₄). Key structural elements include:

Chip-level integration of IGBT and diode cells
