I've just acquired an Aoyue 852A+ hot air SMD rework station. It should be able to cope with that chip, with the correct nozzle.

@Leon Uh Oh I got geek envy now..

so have I ;)

@Leon, where did you buy it from?

I got it here:

They seem to have some left.

I'm making some little breakout PCBs for some new Freescale accelerometer samples I've obtained. I'll try it on those.

The tricky thing is to get good solder connection without killing the chip with to much heat.
A Infraread heating plate might be nice to add heat from the bottom of the PCB. That way you do not need to work so hard with the hot air on the chip.

"We have done a trial layout and you can fully break it out in 2-layers using 0.125mm track gap, 0.3mm drill size and 0.5mm pads. The package size is 10 x 10mm so it's quite compact.
"

Cool :D I have seen chinese people (Working with manufacturing of eledtronics) make magical things with hot air + PCB + QFN.

I don' think my wallet's big enough to afford that :D

Good for you then, that a portable small oven plate also emmits infra red photons. :mrgreen:

Where can you get prototype boards made with 5 mil tracks and 0.3mm drills? BatchPCB and Olimex top out at 8 mils and 0.5mm drill size.

Thanks.

I saw this homemade hotplate at mightyohm which looks like a nice project
