Abstract

Apparatuses and methods of sense arrays with interleaving sense elements are described. One capacitive-sense array includes a repeating pattern having a first conductive element with a first polygon shape and a first width defined along a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis; a second conductive element having a second polygon shape and a second width defined along a third axis that is perpendicular to the first axis and parallel to the second axis; a third conductive element having the first polygon shape and the first width defined along a fourth axis that is perpendicular to the first axis and parallel to the second axis; and a fourth conductive element having the second polygon shape and the second width defined along a fifth axis that is perpendicular to the first axis and parallel to the second axis.
