We were kind of talking about single transistors - at least I was - since that was compared to some DIY module made of several MOSFETs. So, that's just a module too. And that's why I mentioned one of the beefiest, yet single discrete MOSFET transistors I could find. Finding off-the-shelf, single IGBTs with those specs is harder.

You rapidly reach the point where it's cheaper and much higher yield for manufacturers to put multiple dies down in a package rather than a single very large die. You run into major problems with bond wires when they get too big too. Just look at an electric car inverter teardown.

Oh, that's completely right.
But still, those beefy IGBTs are fricking expensive.

MOSFET modules where you get a lot in series/parallel are a thing, but for a bit of a different target application. See:

For instance:

Note the rise time.

Define beefy and expensive - this fella:
https://ie.farnell.com/infineon/fz600r12ke3hosa1/transistor-igbt-module-1-2kv-900a/dp/2726202
switches over 1MW and costs around 120 EUR @ single piece. The bang per buck is insane in my opinion.

I've thought that a thunder cloud (CuNb) works just like a giant Mosfet; with accumulation and depletion zones, and a 'gate' mechanism that allows 10,000+ amps to flow. Any semiconductor experts care to vehemently disagree in a green comic sans font?

Just another hideous YT "DIY" fake.  The music is even worse.   Mosfets have been paralleled since they were fist invented.  Potting them in plastic is just plain...

And he uses that same looped music in every single one of his videos. Oh, and the guy is Vietnamese, not American, making the channel name perplexing, too.
