    Hi,

    I recuperated a lot of semiconductors but I now face the identification
    of these item, principally mosfet and igbt.
    How can I identify the one from the other with e.g. a dmm ?

    Kind regards,

    For a first pass, Mosfets have a parasitic internal diode from drain
    to source. IGBTs don't, unless an extra part is added internally.

    The basic IGBT is an n-channel MOSFET with a PNP emitter follower hanging
    from the drain, so that test should clear things up.
