Abstract
A conductive device includes a substrate and a plurality of conductive traces supported by the substrate. Each trace has a contact portion. Moreover, sufficient substrate material is removed from the substrate to sufficiently lessen stiffness of selected ones of the contact portions so that the selected ones of the contact portions are independently displaceable with respect to each other. A method of manufacturing such a conductive device is also provided.
