How Hardware Startups Use Wire Bonding for Chip-on-Board Assembly
In this episode of Hardware Startups with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore wire bonding — the process of making microscopic connections between bare chips and circuit boards using fine aluminum or gold wires. They unpack why chip-on-board (COB) assembly matters for hardware startups building compact, high-reliability products like sensors, wearables, and medical devices. Lucas cites a real-world example: a startup that replaced a bulky connector with wire-bonded dies, cutting package size by 60% and improving thermal performance. Luna asks about the trade-offs — yield risk, rework difficulty…
