With the development of IGBT technology , IGBT has moved from industrial expansion into consumer electronics applications , to become the fastest growing power semiconductor device in the next 10 years ; while in the Chinese market, rail transportation, energy-saving appliances , wind power , solar photovoltaic and power electronics applications such as it is detonated IGBT applications. According to Chinese research services company IHSiSuppli a report to be published soon , because green energy and energy efficiency to get more attention, and government investment support and strict energy policy ,2011- 2015 China insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) Market sales compound annual growth rate will reach 13%. 2011 IGBT sales will reach $ 859 million in 2015 is expected to reach $ 1.3 billion , as shown below. And other discrete power MOSFET devices other than China IGBT strong growth in sales . IGBT IGBT products can be divided into modules and discrete devices . Since the power output is high, small size and reliability of the application in the terminal , IGBT modules are widely used in almost all electronic industries, from consumer areas until the industrial fields. 2010 , IGBT module sales accounted for 73% of total , reaching $ 537 million . IGBT discrete components accounted for the remaining 27%. 2010 total sales reached $ 710 million IGBT , compared with $ 430 million in 2009 to increase 65%. Although the market is huge , but the domestic market is still Infineon IGBT and the monopoly of foreign manufacturers such as Mitsubishi , Nanjing Silver AME IGBT estimated that the domestic market, sales director of more than 95% are imported products. Although IGBT giants in the domestic foreign investment or joint ventures have some , but in terms of China will still adopt IGBT technology blockade , so the real core technology is not going to China , which seriously hampered China IGBT industrialization process ." Compared with foreign manufacturers , domestic IGBT major gaps in the device design, process and manufacturing technology, and the entire upper end application solutions In addition , IGBT supply of raw materials is also to some extent affected the development of domestic IGBT ." CSMC Discretes Product Development Center General Manager Wu realistically speaking , he also said that despite the relatively fast development of domestic IGBT industry , but because of the relatively large gaps , to catch up with international standards , then you need 5-10 years .
