I actually use X-ray and here are the reasons:
1 The "tab" is a power connection and I need to ensure minimum voiding
in the cross section
2 The "tab" is a thermal connection and the thermal dissipation scales
linearly with cross sectional area connection.

Folks,
Is x-ray inspection part of assembly process? The thermal header would
not be exposed if it was not to be soldered properly.

Yes you are right young David the only criteria for LGA/QFN is based on
inspection of the side terminations.

Hi Vector! Where is the 25% requirement in A610? I did not find a
requirement listed for the thermal pad coverage.

[TN] QFN Thermal Plane Voiding
Fellow TechNetters:
The 25% solder voiding has been an accepted rule of thumb for QFN, Quad
Flat w/No Leads, IPC-A-610D sec. 8.2.13. Is there any other guideline
out there.
Victor,
