In the world of power electronics, bigger is never better. This holds particularly true for high-voltage power systems, where designers are clamouring for better semiconductor technology to meet customer demand for converters that are smaller, lighter, more reliable and efficient, and less expensive. With Silicon MOSFETs
and IGBTs, compromises must be made; for example, one must select either the most reliable design or the most efficient design, but not both...
