About This Book

The IGBT Device: Physics, Design and Applications of the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor, Second Edition provides the essential information needed by applications engineers to design new products using the device in sectors including consumer, industrial, lighting, transportation, medical and renewable energy. The IGBT device has proven to be a highly important Power Semiconductor, providing the basis for adjustable speed motor drives (used in air conditioning and refrigeration and railway locomotives), electronic ignition systems for gasoline powered motor vehicles and energy-saving compact fluorescent light bulbs.

The book presents recent applications in plasma displays (flat-screen TVs) and electric power transmission systems, alternative energy systems and energy storage, but it is also used in all renewable energy generation systems, including solar and wind power. This book is the first available on the applications of the IGBT. It will unlock IGBT for a new generation of engineering applications, making it essential reading for a wide audience of electrical and design engineers, as well as an important publication for semiconductor specialists.

  • Presents essential design information for applications engineers utilizing IGBTs in the consumer, industrial, lighting, transportation, medical and renewable energy sectors
  • Teaches the methodology for the design of IGBT chips, including edge terminations, cell topologies, gate layouts, and integrated current sensors
  • Covers applications of the IGBT, a device manufactured around the world by more than a dozen companies with sales exceeding $5 Billion
  • Written by the inventor of the device, this is the first book to highlight the key role of the IGBT in enabling electric vehicles and renewable energy systems with global impacts on climate change
