Touch sensor panels () have 2-D periodic arrangements of electrodes () connected together forming a plurality of horizontal and vertical logical lines () for measuring X-Y coordinates of a user's touch. Electrodes forming the horizontal logical lines are interleaved with electrodes forming the vertical logical lines. Each of the vertical and horizontal logical lines includes multiple tracks (). The tracks of each logical line are cross connected by in-plane cross connects () formed in the same layer by the same process that is used to form the electrodes. Diamond and square electrode embodiments are described.
