I hereby certify that I am not simply asking someone else to design a footprint for me.
Hi,
I imported an Infineon footprint but I cannot draw tracks for source or drain pads. It works fine for the gate pad.
When I check the DRC, it seems to be an issue with the polygon that overlap.
But I don’t understand what I have to do to avoid that.
Thank you for your help.

PS: Here is a minimal project using the footprint.

I found a solution (with the help of this topic I cannot connect tracks to SQJ504 component - Layout - KiCad.info Forums), I don’t know if it is the best one.
I add a new pad in the source zone.
Click this pad and press Ctrl+E twice. Now this pad is extended to the whole polygon.
But the Paste and Mask layers are altered. So I edit the pad properties and uncheck all the layers.
Now it is correct.
I did the same in the drain zone.
To avoid adding pins that don’t really exist, I renamed all the pins with the name G S D. Used a 3 pins symbol with pins named G S D.
And it works!
Congratulations for finding your own solution.
The problem was (of course) with the polygon. This is a graphical object and KiCad normally keeps a clearance between tracks and graphical objects.
