For completeness, it is worth noting that the planar construction detailed in
be distributed across two layers if desired; it may, for example, make the layout and interconnections
easier. Generally, try to keep the Y layer nearest to touch and avoid separating the Y and X layers
vertically by more than 10 percent of the X to Y gap.
A non-planar construction method tends to have less potential for signal loss from nearby ground loads,
and so is generally far less sensitive than a planar design. Flooded-X style sensors are particularly good
in this regard because the X drive has a low impedance. This means that it can be loaded with relatively
high amounts of parasitic capacitance before the RC time constant becomes a concern.
Generally, the considerations of
