A disk drive electrical interconnect assembly and additive method therefor. The interconnect assembly has a supporting or fifth layer of metal, a fourth layer of a polyimide precursor or a polyimide with a first face directed away from the fifth layer, a third layer directly attached to the first face and defining a first subset of one or more conductive trace pair members, a second layer on the third and fourth layers of a polyimide precursor or a polyimide with a second face directed away from the third layer, and a first layer directly attached to the second layer and defining a second subset of one or more conductive trace pair members in spaced, paired and laterally offset relation respectively with one or more of the first subset pair members.
A method of fabricating a disk drive suspension interconnect assembly, including providing a fifth layer comprising metal, depositing onto said fifth layer a fourth layer comprising a polyimide precursor, converting said fourth layer to polyimide having a first face directed away from said fifth layer, forming a third layer comprising a first subset of one or more conductive trace pair members directly attached to said first face, depositing onto said fourth and third layers a second layer comprising a polyimide precursor and converting said second layer to polyimide having a second face directed away from said third layer, and forming a first layer comprising a second subset of one or more conductive trace pair members directly attached to said second face in spaced, paired, laterally offset and overlapping relation with their centerlines offset respectively with said one or more first subset pair members.
