 Chip-On-Board
Technology
Chip-On-Board
(COB) is a well-established technology that delivers an intermediate level
of miniaturization, along with the advantages of in-process testing and repair.
Chip-On-Board is the direct
attachment of bare die to laminate printed circuit boards, and has advantages
such as low tooling cost and the capability to handle high input/output counts.
Chip-On-Board is an appropriate technology where circuit size is a design
consideration.
