In one embodiment, a method of fabricating an implantable stimulation paddle comprises: providing a sheet of conductive material coupled to a first insulative layer laser removing portions of the conductive material to form a pattern of conductive material, the pattern of conductive material including a plurality of isolated metal traces providing a second insulative layer over the pattern of conductive material so that the pattern of conductive material is interposed between the first and second insulative layers and exposing portions of the metal traces to form electrodes on the paddle for delivering electrical stimulation.
