Technologies and trends related to power module

Summary form only given. A demand to realize low carbon society becomes very strong. For CO₂ reduction, energy saving and/or the new energy product used new technology such as Photovoltaic power generation technology and wind power generation technology have been introduced to the market. The power electronics is main technology for the energy-saving and will progress more in future. The power device with high power capability such as IGBT is a key component in power electronics technology and will progress more with progress of the application field. I introduce a trend of the IGBT and both wafer process technology and package technology to support high performance IGBT.
