The present disclosure provides a semiconductor chip. The semiconductor chip includes a switching element having a gate electrode, a first pad, and a second pad. The first control pad is electrically connected to the gate electrode and applied with a voltage controlling the switching element to switch on or switch off. The second control pad provides a current path of a control current flowing between the first control pad and the second control pad when the switching element is in a switch-on state. One of the first control pad or the second control pad includes two pad components and a remaining one of the first control pad or the second control pad is disposed between the two pad components of the one of the first control pad or the second control pad.
