Did check the coplanarity of the failed lead and found it to be as good as the wetting leads.

I'm with you dave...please provide specifics as to defect condition... Are you getting good wetting to both land and lead? Is there any repeatability to lead/location/device? Do you have paste inspection capabilites to verify deposition? Is it a Pala

I have been getting non wets on fine pitch QFP packages on random leads during reflow process. I noticed that every time there is some flux residue left between the non-wet lead and the solder pad. No residue was not observed on the rest of the good

Fabs can produce a solder mask web between 20 pitch leads, but I've never seen a web for 16 pitch leads. Although, I would like know a supplier that can lay-down a fine web. Minimum solder mask web width is about 0.004 thou. An absolute mininum o

People have made good comments. Additional points are: * Your bridging is probably being caused by one or more of the following: [1] printing too much paste, [2] smearing the paste during placement or subsequent handling, or [3] paste slump during t
