ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for maximizing substrate usage in the fabrication of flat panel displays or detectors, while also maximizing electrostatic protection for the displays or detectors. Initially, at least two detectors are positioned on the substrate, with each of the detectors having a guard ring of a certain width. At least a section of the guard ring width of one detector is approximately adjacent to a section of the guard ring width of another detector. The approximately adjacent guard ring width sections are then positioned such that a maximum overlap of the adjacent guard ring width sections is achieved, while still providing each display or detector with electrostatic discharge protection. Each of the detectors is separated from the other detectors and the remainder of the substrate by the process of scribing partially through the substrate and breaking at the scribe mark or by sawing.
