The transistor is a semiconductor device which transfers a weak signal from low resistance circuit to high resistance circuit. The words Trans mean transfer property and istor mean resistance property offered to the junctions. In other words, it is a switching device which regulates and amplify the electrical signal likes voltage or current.
The greatest advantage of power transistors is their small size, as it allows them to be used in almost any electronic device. Global chip-making vendors such as Intel and TSMC are carrying out R&D activities that will result in shrinking the transistor by half or even more.
Power transistor revenue is projected to grow by 6 percent this year to a record $13.6 billion, according to IC Insights' 2017 0-S-D report. The market grew by 5 percent last year after suffering a 7 percent decline in 2015, according to the firm.
The growth of the Power Transistors Devices market has been attributed to demand in application/end-users such as Automotive & Transportation, Industrial & Power, Consumer, Computing& Communications & Others. Furthermore the research is geographically segmented as United States, China, Europe, Japan, Southeast Asia & India.
Semiconductor is a physical substance that is designed to manage and control the flow of current in electronic devices and equipment. It neither allows a freely flowing electric current nor repels it completely.
A semiconductor is in between a conductor and insulator and commonly used in the development of electronic chips, computing components and devices. It is generally created using silicon, germanium or other pure elements.Due to their role in the fabrication of electronic devices, semiconductors are an important part of our lives. Imagine life without electronic devices. There would be no radios, no TV's, no computers, no video games, and poor medical diagnostic equipment.
The new electronic systems are shifting demand for semiconductors among the major application segments—body, safety, driver information, powertrain, and chassis.The global semiconductor market grew by 21.6 percent and reached USD 419 billion in the year 2017. The market is expected to be up by 9.5 percent to reach to US$451 billion in 2018. Semiconductors will play an important role in the growth and innovation of automotive technologies used for connected cars and electric vehicles. The rapidly-evolving automotive market presents a glowing opportunity for automotive semiconductors to support increased connectivity, battery performance in EVs, enhanced sensors, and other technologies.
