We were having void problems with heat transfer down the via's (24 layer boards, shed loads of planes). So we drew the via away from the centre into a teardrop pad. Void's gone!

Below is an email that I copy and pasted from my customer's engineer about his concerns with the issue of the chips not reflowing (which is why I was asking about X-ray the chips to make sure they reflowed): Can you let me know your thoughts on his

Hi Muarty, We've had a lot of experience with QFN's now. Several years ago we started testing various design methods of the via arrays as well as paste apertures to cover the arrays. There has been some time that has passed now since these packages

| I have a single-sided board with test vias that pass through the board. The test vias are pasted and reflowed with the SMT components on the top side. When the boards are wavesoldered, the solder coverage on the vias is spotty. Some will sold
