Power semiconductor devices are being compact, high performance and intelligent thanks to recent remarkable developments of silicon design, process and related packaging technologies. Developments of MOS-gate transistors such as MOSFET and IGBT are dominant thanks to their advantages on high speed operation. In conjunction with package technology, silicon technologies such as trench, charge balance and NPT will support future power semiconductors. In addition, wide band gap material such as SiC and GaN are being studies for next generation power semiconductor devices.
