Our power semiconductor devices are used almost everywhere—in power electronic equipment including home electronics, traction, automobiles and electricity distribution. As the long-standing leader in world market share, Mitsubishi Electric contributes significantly to energy conservation and the reduction of the size and weight of power electronics equipment.
*In IGBT modules (as of February, 2017), based on Mitsubishi Electric’s research.

We continue to explore the potential of silicon carbide (SiC). In power devices, it can dramatically reduce power loss due to the special characteristics of the material, greatly boosting the energy efficiency of power electronics devices. Mitsubishi Electric started developing the elements required for SiC in the early 1990s, and has continued to be at the global cutting edge of the industry by developing commercial versions of SiC power semiconductor devices and products incorporating these devices, and providing data showing their energy-saving performance.
