I might start with the equivalent 4 or 5 mil stencil and 1:1 on the apertures. If voids are too prevalent, then I would tin the pads of the device, remove the solder, and then solder as above. You may have another hurdle, in that the resulting stan

Have you ever heard of "Solder Mask Defined Thermal Pads"? I wrote a short blurb on this here - https://www.pcblibraries.com/forum/ipc7093a-btc-qfn-solder-mask-defined-thermal-pad_topic2154.html This technology saves fabrication costs by not havi
