Hi all, any good recommendation for PbF paste application to reduce voids underneath the QFN thermal pad (stencil thickenss? opening? via hole? reflow profile etc)? We have tried few stencil opening design but no significant improvement as seen. Ther

Back when I used to do a lot of these style devices we ran into the same problem you are describing. Use a pattern for the center pad area and keep the total coverage to about 68% of the pad area. Diagonal Stripes, tic tac toe, cloverleaf, dot array

To whom this may concern, I recently ran into the problem with vias on pads of BGA when place BGA and reflow gas trap on vias escape and result in ball having void greater than 50% of BGA diameter. The BGA pad is measured at 20 mils and the vias mea

We baked the board first and print 2 mil water soluble paste at the BGA location and reflow. Wash and baked before the production run.

You have a very bad situation. It�s tough for the gas, flux material, er whatever to escape when the BGA is sitting on top of it and the blind via is blocking it from the other side. Obviously the vias should have been: * Placed on the edge of the

What is your concern regarding voiding in QFN solder connections?

I know IPC is working on a spec for voiding for QFN'S. However since its not released I'm curious what others have defined as the max allowable % voiding on the leads (not center ground).

This may sound like advertasing, but I ran a DOE with five solder paste/flux manufacturers and somehow, the voids went away with the AIM solder.
