the voids will cause a long term relability problem as the part will not be correctly heatsinked. Change your stencil aperature to a "+" sign 15-20 mils wide in the center of the pad. ___________ : | : : | : :----|----: : | : :__

It's well documented in higher power semiconductors where thermal interface materials are used, such as SIL pads, thermal grease etc. There are a couple of papers on the effects of voiding on MOSFET performance, but I haven't got around to reading
