Just to add to the subject, we experienced insufficient solder on our QFN's at our prototype level. To correct it, we went to a 5 mil stencil, 20% reduction on QFN pertures and used QFN's with solder bumps on the pads. We had great results using thi

It sounds like more has to do with plating. you may also check out the voiding issue especially if you have new FAB or the supplier. I had problems with a RF chip in QFN package due to insufficient grounding that voiding caused. This ground is often

At SMT assembly, flux outgassing/drying is difficult for devices with poor venting channel, and resulted in insufficiently dried/burnt-off flux residue for no-clean process. Examples including: Large low stand-off components such as QFN, LGA Components covered under electromagnetic shield which has either no or few venting holes Components assembled within cavity of board Any other devices with small open space around solder joints

With the miniaturization of electronic device, Land Grid Array (LGA) or QFN has been widely used in consumer electronic products. However there is only 20-30 microns gap left between LGA and the substrate, it is very difficult for capillary underfill to flow into the large LGA component at room temperature. Insufficient underfilling will lead to the loss of quality control and the poor reliability issue. In order to resolve these issues, a room temperature fast flow reworkable underfill has been successfully developed with excellent flowability. The underfill can flow into 20 microns gap and complete the flow of 15mm distance for about 30 seconds at room temperature. The curing behavior, storage, thermal cycling performance and reworkability will be discussed in details in this paper.
