Anyone have an idea on what the smallest feasible/reliable pad size and pitch should be for a PCB designed with an array of ICT test points? Thanks in advance for your help.

Please give us additional background on your board, solder, process, etc. If you are talking about black pad in ENIG solderability preservative, check the fine SMTnet archives to get started.

If you are getting solder shorts under a device, how would "hiding" the extra long pad with solder mask help? If the pad can't be seen once the device is in place, it is already "hidden". Getting your customer to redesign the pads may take some time

For conventional QFP device, what is the optimun height between lead and pad? 50 microns or 100 microns? What is the factor affecting this height?

Never read anything like that, but with the same courtyard, you have the ability to position less material with a circle than a square. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for a heirarchy of sources from which to select pad dimensions

After a whole night's self review, I think we can term the slant/tilt as "floating 0805, yet end-terminals have acceptable solder joint formation". the width portion of the 0805 RES/CAP is (floating)elevated from the PCB pad, yet both (width) termin

Messy. Messy. Messy. Consider gluing these components, until you control your process. It is unclear to us that a single factor drives these defects, but multiple factors that need to be tuned to work well together. PAD DIMENSIONS * Some SM-782 pa

I've seen a problem recently where there was 2 deposits of Nickle then Gold, The problem is the Nickle will not adhere to Nickle, see if you can scrape the pad away with a scalpel.
