PRODUCTION DATA
Wettable flanks improve side wetting after soldering which makes QFN packages easier to inspect with automatic optical inspection (AOI). A wettable flank can be dimpled or step-cut to provide additional surface area for solder adhesion which assists in reliably creating a side fillet as shown in the figure. For additional details, see the mechanical drawing.
