Zusammenfassung:An integrated lead flexure for a disk drive head suspension and method for making the flexure. The flexure includes a spring metal layer, a dielectric layer over the spring metal layer, and a plurality of conductive leads on the dielectric layer. The spring metal layer has a first surface, and the dielectric layer has a first surface opposite the spring metal layer first surface, and a plurality of troughs in least a portion of the dielectric layer. At least some of the leads are disposed in a respective dielectric layer trough.
