Babban fasalin IGCT - wanda ke haifar da sunansa da manyan fa'idodinsa - ba wai kawai wafer silicon kanta ba, amma hanyar da ƙofar ke tuƙa ta - ƙirar ƙofofin lantarki da injina. Ma'anar 'hard-drive' a cikin zuciyar aikin IGCT yana buƙatar haɗin injiniya na direban kofa da semiconductor zuwa ɗaya guda ɗaya tare da ƙananan inductance. Har ila yau, yana nuna wasu sabbin fasahohin musanya, waɗanda ke sa masu canza IGCT suka bambanta da masu canza GTO ko IGBT. Iyakar wannan bayanin aikace-aikacen ne don sanya masu zanen kaya su saba da takaddun bayanai da kuma amfani da IGCTs a cikin manyan wuraren aikace-aikacen su.
Abubuwan da ke gaba suna da mahimmanci a tuna:
• ba a buƙatar kashe snubber a aikace-aikace ba tare da haɗin jerin ba; inda ake amfani da snubbers, sun fi na GTOs ƙanƙanta da yawa
• Ƙimar sarrafawar abokin ciniki an rage shi zuwa samar da wutar lantarki, shigarwar sarrafawa na gani da fitarwa na matsayi na gani
• Geometry na tukin kofa muhimmin ma'auni ne a cikin ƙirar injina.
Ya kamata a lura da cewa 'IGCT' yana nufin cikakken na'urar. 'GCT' yana nufin sashin fakitin latsawa na semiconductor. Ana iya yin ƙarin bambance-bambancen don rarrabe RC-IGCTs (mai juyawa), RB-IGCTs (reverse blocking) da AS-IGCTs (asymmetrics ba tare da jujjuya baya ko jujjuya iyawa ba).
