The most popular silicon power devices for high-voltage, high-current applications are IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors). With IGBTs , low resistance at high breakdown voltage is achieved at the cost of switching performance. Minority carriers are injected into the drift region to reduce conduction (on-) resistance.
