Soldering QFNs

2009-07-29 by David Griffith

Does anyone here have any pointers on making a board with a QFN packaged 
device and then hand soldering it?  I'm pondering doing something like 
putting a lot of relatively large vias underneath to made a connection 
with the thermal pad on the bottom.  At first I thought that I might get 
away with using heat sink grease, but it looks like that thermal pad is 
the only connection for Vss.
