Two questions:
1. What chip is it? I mean, does it have leads or just pads, is it
bga, qfp, qfn, csp, etc? A specific part number is best.
2. Have you made the board for it yet?
Bonus question:
∗ What's a bouth?
I've had luck soldering tiny qfn (no leads, just pads on the bottom)
chips using solder paste and a hotplate, but it helps to extend the
board's pads away from the chip enough to do manual repairs.
