We look for a 3:1 ratio (width:height) - and this all depends on design
and density.

Subject: [TN] copper weight versus SMT component size
Has anybody defined recommended maximum copper thickness (weight) with
specific size SMT components?
For example; 2 oz. copper max with 0603 resistors and caps.
My thoughts process here is I know that with thicker copper there is
more undercut by the etchant. There must be a point of diminishing
returns for pad size to maintain good manufacturing capabilities, not to
mention the remote possibility of rework.
Some of our "power electronics" boards may be specified as 4 oz. copper
for the large power components, but this might be an issue for the small
control circuit components like 0603 foot prints.
Thanks in advance.
