You can reduce and almost eliminate voids and other paste related defects in LGA's BGA's, QFN's etc, by using solid solder deposit. Its been around for 24 years, 13 in the US. It is now included in the new IPC 7093 specification for bottom terminat

In the IPC-A-610E standard QFNs are classified as BTC (bottom termination components). Most QFNs do not have a solder-able surface on the outside of the part. Usually the lead that you can see on the outside is copper and classified is not solder-a

Hi, Below may help you out. per IPC 7093 ( Design and assembly Process Implementation for Bottom Termination Components ),Clause 6.1.5.3 voids on thermal pad up to 50% does not result in loss of thermal performance. Since the void criteria is

Agree with WiIIR and also can recommend to play with vaccum pump RPM . Slower vacuum increasing have help me to resolve one problem caused by the vacuum (it was solder splash from BGA balls, but the reason can be similar to your case). Also check i

Since side fillets are not a requirement for QFNs/BTCs due to some packages not having wettable side terminations, how does one determine if the side terminations are actually solderable/designed for wetting? Is it simply if the side terminations

Hello. Since a DFN is a BTC component, an end fillet height is not required on IPC 610 since most of these components did not have a wettable surface on the sides. A cross section in a non-touched up sample could be performed to validate the solder
