What are common issues EPC has encountered in PCB design and assembly?

There are many issues that can arise if proper PCB design rules not followed. These issues can be exacerbated by poor assembly techniques. There is a section in the application note Assembling eGaN FETs and Integrated Circuits that presents the many issues we have encountered and explains their origins. This section starts with item 15 on page 5 of the application note.
