Abstract: A capacitance module may include a first substrate having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, and a second substrate having a third side and a fourth side opposite the third side, the second side of the first substrate facing the third side of the second substrate. A first set of electrodes may be disposed on the second side of the substrate, and a second set of electrodes may be disposed on the second side of the substrate. The first set of electrodes and the second set of electrodes may be used to measure capacitance.
