I didn't see the original post, just the OMG reply.
Opened the link and thought Olympic Peninsula. 
That is a big one!

Production is a little sluggish today:

Most slugs I see have no problem with wetting. They leave a very telltale
streak on the sidewalk.

Does the slug have a problem with wetting?  (If you take a removed part and
put it on a hotplate, does solder readily wet it?)

Hi folks,

Please forgive me if this topic does not belong to this group.

Let me explain my predicament.
I'm a PCB layout guy who has been asked to look at a soldering issue we are
having with a 48-pin QFN 7mmx7mm [EMBER CORP - EM357-RTR], the solder slug
under the part is not soldering/bonding to the PCB. The pcb footprint is
made per the manufactures specification with a 5.3mm x 5.3mm solder slug pad
with 9 vias finished drill size of 0.254mm. There are no soldermask features
on the component or solder side over the vias.

When the board has been reflowed, all of the 48 pins solder well but the
slug has not bonded to the pcb. There are signs of solder in the slug vias
on the opposite side of the board. If the part is ripped off the board, the
slug is clean and solder free.

I do not have any information about the paste screen setup or the oven
profile.

The questions I have are;

1 - Any ideas on why this is happening?

2 - Are the vias in the slug causing this problem?

3 - Would soldermaks capping the vias on the component side help resolve
this?

4 - Would plugging (no capping) of the vias with epoxy help?

5 - Do north African sparrows fly faster then European sparrows (just seeing
if anybody is reading this :-)

I do have some photos and x-rays of the device if this will help.

Again any help or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Alan Young.
