Patent ID: 7353595

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a printed circuit board that mounts an integrated circuit device thereon, comprising: a pattern forming step of forming on the printed circuit board, a plurality of device lands for being electrically connected to pins of the integrated circuit device, a plurality of terminal lands for being electrically connected to terminals of an external device, a plurality of test lands used for performing an operational test of the integrated circuit device when the integrated circuit device is mounted on the printed circuit board, a plating terminal used for plating the terminal lands, and a wiring pattern including a plurality of traces that electrically connect the device lands to the terminal lands, the test lands and the plating terminal, such that all the test lands are disposed outside an area interposed between the plurality of terminal lands and the plurality of device lands; a terminal land plating step of applying electrolytic plating to the terminal lands using the plating terminal; a mounting step of mounting the integrated circuit device on the printed circuit board so as to electrically connect the device lands and the pins; a plating terminal insulating step of electrically disconnecting the terminal lands and the plating terminal after the terminal land plating step; a testing step of performing an operational test of the integrated circuit device mounted in the mounting step; and a separating step of separating a portion of the printed circuit board where the plurality of device lands and the plurality of terminal lands are disposed, from a portion of the printed circuit board where the plurality of test lands are disposed.
