Abstract

In this paper, recent technical trends and future prospects of IGBTs and power MOSFETs is presented. Device technologies mainly for reducing power loss are discussed. This is because the reduction in power loss of these power devices is important for home and consumer appliances. Firstly, historical main road maps of these device technologies are introduced. Next, proposed future road maps and distinguishing results are also introduced. And, a comparison with IGBTs, power MOSFETs and Si-CMOSFETs is discussed. Finally, I will conclude that Si-power devices and SiC-power devices will coexist in home and consumer appliances by taking advantage of each characteristic in the near future.
