A method of making a stimulation lead includes attaching multiple segmented electrodes to a carrier. Each of the segmented electrodes has a curved form extending over an arc in the range of 10 to 345 degrees. The method further includes attaching conductors to the segmented electrodes forming the carrier into a cylinder with segmented electrodes disposed within the cylinder molding a lead body around the segmented electrodes disposed on the carrier and removing at least a portion of the carrier to separate the segmented electrodes.
