Trace border routing

A touch screen comprising:

• a display configured to display data;
• a touch sensor panel including a plurality of rows configured to sense a touch or hover;
• multiple conductive traces including inner conductive traces and outer conductive traces, the inner conductive traces located between the outer conductive traces, the multiple conductive traces in a plane disposed along a length of the plane, each trace coupled to a different row and configured to drive a respective row with stimulation signals, the traces being disposed at a border area of the panel, each trace having segments with multiple widths that are different from the multiple widths of the segments of the other traces, the width perpendicular to the length in the plane, wherein the width of the trace is constant within each segment, and
• further wherein the inner conductive traces are have greater widths than the outer conductive traces at a connector location, and at least one of the multiple conductive traces having segments that decrease in width with respect to one another along the length of the trace.

A method of forming conductive traces on a device, comprising:

• forming multiple conductive traces in a plane along a length of the plane, in a border area of the device, the traces varying in length, each trace having at least two segments of different widths, the width perpendicular to the length in the plane, wherein the width of a trace is constant within each segment, wherein the multiple conductive traces includes inner conductive traces and outer conductive traces, the inner conductive traces located between the outer conductive traces, further wherein the inner conductive traces have greater widths than the outer conductive traces at a connector location;
• forming an active area including a plurality of rows to couple to the conductive traces, each conductive trace coupling to a corresponding row in the active area to transmit signals to and from that row, wherein each row forms at least a portion of one or more display pixels;
• forming three or more adjacent traces alongside a first location, each of the three or more adjacent traces having a different width as measured along a line perpendicular to the active area at the border area;
• and at least one of the three or more traces having segments that decrease in width with respect to one another along a length of the trace.
