3.7 Board Layout Considerations

There are a wide variety of QFN packages on the market that have varying thicknesses. Location of the thinner format QFN packages should be carefully considered when laying out the board design to avoid regions of extreme deflection during manufacture (see Figure 3-6). Excessive bending of the substrate can lead to package damage and should be avoided in the assembly flow.
