The state‐of‐the‐art Intelligent Power Modules (IPMs) have been reviewed in the beginning of this paper along with a brief overview of its history and the purpose of its development. In the following part, the paper reviews the key IPM concept and the technologies that supported its evolution as a major power electronics component family so far. The paper will also highlight on the status and future possibilities of IPM based power semiconductors for far future power conversion applications.
