A method of fabricating a two-layer capacitive touch sensor panel comprising the following steps: a) depositing a first transparent electrically conductive layer on a transparent cover sheet; b) forming a pattern in the transparent electrically conductive layer to create a first set of discrete electrode structures; c) depositing a transparent dielectric layer over the discrete electrode structures; d) depositing a second transparent electrically conductive layer onto the transparent dielectric layer; e) forming a pattern in the transparent electrically conductive layer to create further discrete electrode structures by laser ablation, this pattern either not penetrating or penetrating only part way through the dielectric layer so as to avoid damaging the first set of discrete electrode structures; f) forming electrical connections or vias between the two transparent electrically conductive layers through the dielectric layer; and g) forming electrical connections between the transparent electrically conductive layer(s) and an electrical track or busbar formed at the periphery of the panel.) The method provides a maskless, chemical free way to fabricate a two-layer "cover integrated" sensor. A two-layer capacitive touch sensor panel fabricated by this method is also described |
