Abstract :
MOS-gated power semiconductors are enabling technologies for “efficient end-use” power conversion systems. The use of these technologies for energy savings offers an environmental benefit of reduction in carbon dioxide emissions if the primary energy source is fossil fuel based. The manufacturing of these technologies using clean production processes by design is discussed
