Cooling in Power Electronics

Power electronics devices such as MOSFETs, GTOs, IGBTs, IGCTs etc. are now widely used to efficiently deliver electrical power in home electronics, industrial drives, telecommunication, transport, electric grid and numerous other applications.

In power electronics, chip-on-heat-sink technology makes it possible to reduce thermal resistance between the heat source (chip) and the heat-sink by (depending on the design) up to a quarter of the value compared to conventional cooling system design.
Thus, ceramic heat-sinks make it possible to achieve power densities that were previously unattainable.
