A lead for a stimulation device can include an array of electrodes with each electrode having a front surface and a back surface a plurality of conductors a carrier formed around the array of electrodes and a biocompatible material that may be disposed over and/or joined with the carrier and the back surfaces of the electrodes. A conductor is attached to the back surface of each electrode. The carrier can be formed around the array of electrodes, but does not completely cover the front surface or back surface of the electrodes.
