Abstract
An apparatus and method for reducing charge time and power consumption of a sensor element of a sensing device. The apparatus may include a sensor element of a sensing device that has a surface area of conductive material and one or more gaps in the conductive material. The sensor element may include a plurality of evenly-spaced, parallel bars of conductive material and a plurality of interconnect lines coupled to the evenly-spaced, parallel bars to form the one or more gaps in the conductive material of the sensor element.
