Abstract: A suspension assembly of a camera, with electrical traces, may be formed using one or more electroforming processes. The suspension assembly may include one or more flexure arms connecting an inner frame to an outer frame of the camera. The inner frame may be moveable relative to the outer frame to implement autofocus and/or optical image stabilization functions for the camera. The electrical traces may be formed at a first side of a substrate, using one or more electroforming processes. Next, one or more cavities in various shapes may be created in one or more dry film photoresist (DFR) layers at a second side of the substrate by exposing the DFR layers to ultraviolet light. One or more electroforming processes may be used to deposit one or more materials in to the cavities to form one or more components, e.g., a flexure arm, of the suspension assembly.
