Subject: [TN] Moisture sensitivity

Just a question for interest sake.  Are there any general correlations
between package size, and lead numbers, and moisture sensitivity that
can be made?
For instance, do you think a 17.5mm square 44 lead 4.5mm thick package
would have less or more moisture sensitivity than a 16mm square 64 lead
1 mm thick package.  The IC's have different functions.

Gut feeling, I think the 64 lead would have more sensitivity.  It is
smaller, with more and finer pitch outside connections.  As dimensions
get smaller, I think the danger of moisture doing damage goes up.  Also,
since there are more leads I feel that there are more locations that
possibly moisture could get in, as the potential for seal breaks is
probably greater at interfaces between plastic and metal?

Am I out to lunch in my general reasoning?

Just thought I would spice up Friday.

To all those Canadians out there, enjoy your turkey and pumpkin pie this
weekend.
