Which efficiency decrease occurs when increasing switching frequency within insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs)?

💡 Explanation

Increased switching frequency reduces IGBT efficiency because higher frequency causes enhanced minority carrier recombination in the drift region disrupting the conductivity modulation mechanism, therefore increased power dissipation occurs, rather than primarily gate losses at lower frequencies.
