Summary of power semiconductor
devices
Power Electronics Power Semiconductor Devices36
1. Majority carrier devices, including the MOSFET and Schottky diode, exhibit
very fast switching times, controlled essentially by the charging of the
device capacitances. However, the forward voltage drops of these devices
increases quickly with increasing breakdown voltage.
2. Minority carrier devices, including the BJT, IGBT, and thyristor family, can
exhibit high breakdown voltages with relatively low forward voltage drop.
However, the switching times of these devices are longer, and are
controlled by the times needed to insert or remove stored minority charge.
3. Energy is lost during switching transitions, due to a variety of mechanisms.
The resulting average power loss, or switching loss, is equal to this energy
loss multiplied by the switching frequency. Switching loss imposes an
upper limit on the switching frequencies of practical converters.
