Methods for fabricating stiffeners for flexible substrates, including, but not limited to, tapes, films, or other connective structures, which are configured to be secured to other semiconductor device components, are fabricated under control of a program. The stiffeners may be formed by selectively depositing or consolidating unconsolidated material. They may include a plurality of mutually adhered regions. The stiffeners may be configured to prevent torsional flexion or bending of the connective structure to which they are to be secured, to reinforce sprocket or indexing holes in connective structures or to include apertures through which intermediate conductive elements or other structures secured to the connective structure may be exposed or protrude.
