This parameter is very important for evaluating the energy consumption and efficiency of the MOSFET in a circuit. The smaller the on-resistance, the lower the energy consumption and the higher the efficiency of the MOSFET in the on state.

[0004] The on-resistance of a power device is mainly composed of internal MOSFET chip resistance, metal lead resistance, etc. The process of the metal lead is to connect one end of the metal wire to the metal electrode area of the internal MOSFET chip by welding, and then connect the other end of the metal wire to the metal frame by welding, so as to realize the connection of the electrode of the chip to the pin of the lead frame of the package.

This is conducive to reducing the power consumption of the MOSFET and improving the working efficiency. The MOSFET packaging structure provided by the application is suitable for silicon-based, silicon carbide-based, and silicon nitride-based high-current low-resistance MOSFET power devices.

[0043] Further, in some embodiments, the MOSFET packaging structure provided by the application includes a copper wire, an aluminum wire, or a gold wire; the direction of the shortest distance from the source pad 110 of the MOSFET chip to the lead frame source 210 is the Y direction, and the direction horizontal to the Y direction is the X direction, and the single source lead 300 is arranged in a straight line in the Y direction.
