How to improve the solder quality of QFN?

Electronics Forum | Fri Jul 15 13:58:32 EDT 2005 | seaK

Our production is putting QFN40 and QFN56 package on board. With 80% opening on terminal, 40% on thermal pad, we found QFN56 100% forming toe fillet, but it does not work out the same to QFN40. We suspect it's because of the weight of component.....
