Abstract:
1. A substrate panel containing a plurality of printed circuit boards suitable for singulation using a saw blade having a width defined by the width of a first process window, comprising: a plurality of conductive traces provided on the substrate; a serpentine plating buss interconnecting the plurality of conductive traces and provided between adjacent ones of the plurality of printed circuit boards, wherein said serpentine plating buss extends laterally in a full pattern a distance greater than the width of the saw blade such that said serpentine plating buss defines a second process window having a width greater than or equal to about 0.330 mm; and said serpentine plating buss comprises a plurality of lateral segments positioned perpendicularly across said first process window, and a plurality nonparallel side segments positioned outside of said first process window, wherein said nonparallel side segments are not parallel with respect to one another.
