Patent ID: 7877867

Claim:
A component fixing method of fixing a component comprising a convex portion and a concave portion to a printed circuit board such that the concave and convex portions oppose the printed circuit board, the method comprising: a resist forming step comprising forming a resist printed layer having a predetermined thickness on said printed circuit board, wherein the resist printed layer is formed on a portion of the printed circuit board that opposes the concave portion, but the resist printed layer is not formed on a portion of the printed circuit board that opposes the convex portion; a printing step comprising forming a silk screen printed layer having a predetermined thickness on said resist printed layer; and a component bonding step comprising bonding the concave portion of the component to the silk screen printed layer using an adhesive double coated tape having a predetermined thickness, such that the convex portion of the component opposes the portion of the printed circuit board that does not have the resist printed layer formed thereon; and wherein, in said component bonding step, a sum of the thicknesses of the resist printed layer, the silk screen printed layer and the adhesive double coated tape is greater than a height difference between the concave portion and the convex portion.
