Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for a capacitive touch sensor including a circuit substrate (which may be a flexible substrate) having a touch sensor controller coupled to a plurality of contacts through a plurality of conductive traces. The contacts are formed on a first (bottom) side of the circuit substrate while the conductive traces are formed on a second (top) side of the circuit substrate, but are ohmically (electrically) coupled to the contacts through the use of conductive vias. This arrangement of conductive traces, vias and contacts allows the conductive traces to reside over the contacts and within the bonding region resulting in an improvement of over fifty percent in wasted space as compared to conventional touch sensors.
