Embodiments are directed to assembling an RFID tag through wire bonding techniques. In some examples, the RFID tag may be assembled by wire bonding of an RFID integrated circuit (IC) to an antenna through a hole in a substrate. In other examples, methods for assembling RFID tags from a singulated IC or diced ICs still on a dicing frame may be disclosed. The disclosed methods may use a single metal layer for producing RFID tags with multi-turn loop antenna.
