Abstract:
1. A substrate panel comprising: a plurality of printed circuit boards suitable for singulation using a saw blade having a width defining a first process window, each printed circuit board having a plurality of conductive traces provided on a planar surface of the substrate, wherein said plurality of conductive traces on one of said plurality of printed circuit boards is offset from said plurality of conductive traces on an adjacent one of said plurality of printed circuit boards; and a serpentine plating buss provided on said planar surface between adjacent ones of said plurality of printed circuit boards and interconnecting said plurality of offset conductive traces, and wherein said serpentine plating buss comprises a plurality of lateral segments positioned perpendicularly across said first process window, and a plurality of nonparallel side segments, 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 bus defines a second process window significantly larger than the first process window.
