1. A touch sensor device, comprising:
an array of conductive members; a first routing trace electrically coupled to a first conductive member of the array of conductive members, the first routing trace extending to a connector integrated into the touch sensor device, wherein the first conductive member is formed as a periodic structure comprising a directionally aligned and elongated sputtered metal segment of a group of directionally aligned and elongated sputtered metal segments; a second routing trace electrically coupled to a second conductive member of the array of conductive members, the second routing trace extending to the connector; and a resistor that electrically couples the first routing trace and the second routing trace, wherein the resistor comprises multiple insulating members intercalated between sections of a conductive material, the multiple insulating members forming a pattern that defines multiple constrictions over which the conductive material that couples the first routing trace to the second routing trace is overlaid; and wherein a third conductive member of the array of conductive member is placed between the first conductive member and the second conductive member. |
