Experiments with very small 0201 size foot prints were NOT as successful as I would like. The small 0201 pads would not hold enough solder to allow proper bridging of the gap between pads. A usable bridge could only be made with very dry slaggy solder.
I am trying the new Solder Jumper Pattern as I suggest in the previous post. Here are the proposed dimensions, the folded pads should help hold the solder and aid in bridge creation. Or, at least that is the plan.

Overall size is 72 x 32 mils (0703) Dimension Values Shown are Mils |
The PCB Manufactures that I use, and my own Homebrew PCB processing, should be able to create the pattern without difficulty.
I have recently sent a small board off to Manufacturing with one of these new Solder Jumpers , Soon, I will report the results.
