A method for fabricating a neurostimulation stimulation lead includes providing a plurality of ring components and hypotubes. An insulative coating is disposed on at least one of (i) inner surfaces of the ring components or (ii) the hypotubes. The method includes welding the hypotubes to the inner surfaces of the ring components, and molding an insulative material to fill interstitial spaces between the ring components and the hypotubes that are welded to form a stimulation tip component of the stimulation lead. The method includes forming segmented electrodes from the ring components after performing the molding.
