Are QFNs and DFNs considered ICs to boardsort's standard?

Modern chips
as long as it doesn’t have a full fledged spreader yes, IC rate
With a heavy tungsten spreader it goes pinless
—>
If it’s an old ceramic chip like the i286/80286, Motorola, MOS etc
For gold connectors post a picture
Everything else goes as IC

Thanks for the reply! Kinda confused on what you mean by spreader tho? As in a center pad(ground pad)?... Would you mind clarifying if these would be sellable. Obviously after accumulating much more thanks

Might be hard to see but #4 is dfn that has gold pads. Not sure if this would be a different category of ics.

Everything except 4 is standard IC chips.
#4 would be at Chris’s discretion as to where it would go: you can email him the photo.

By spreader I’m referring to a piece of metal, usually tungsten or tungsten plated copper,

About 1/8-1/16th of an inch thick that weighs more than the IC it’s attached to.

Awesome! Much appreciated, ill keep qfns with gold contacts separate from now on.

And oh okay! I recognize those, so spreaders are the metal plate typically on larger BGAs and such?

Typically yes. But on ultra condensed boards, eg embedded systems, they can be found on the tiniest of ICs.
I stole Chris’s photo for the example since I come across the micro minis so rarely I never thought to photo one.
