ABSTRACT:
Metallic elements such as leads for connection to a semiconductor chip are made by embossing a metal sheet to form thin and thick regions, then etching or otherwise removing metal from the sheet in a nonselective removal process and arresting the removal process when the thin regions are removed but before the thick regions are removed. A base material may be applied to the metal sheet to form a dielectric layer before the removal step, so that the metallic leads left after the removal step are supported by the dielectric layer.
