1. An apparatus, comprising: a stack of layers; a capacitive sensor layer in the stack of layers; a set of electrodes on the capacitive layer; an antenna on the capacitive layer;
and a shield feature between at least a portion of the set of electrodes and the antenna; wherein the stack of layers includes a first capacitive sensor layer and a second capacitive sensor layer, and the antenna is formed on at least one of the capacitive sensor layers; and wherein the shield feature is formed on both the first capacitive sensor layer and the second capacitive sensor layer;
wherein the shield feature surrounds a portion of the set of electrodes.
