An electric circuit assembly and method provides direct bonding of a copper lead frame pattern (430) on a ceramic substrate (402), including the provision of numerous isolated lead frame segments of small size, without requiring individual oxidation nor placement of same on the substrate, and eliminating loss of alignment during fusing during direct bonding. The lead frame pattern (430) includes a plurality of lead frames (432) interconnected and held together by support bridges (434) therebetween. The support bridges (434) are designed to vaporize, open, retract and disappear during the direct bonding operation, resulting in direct bonded fusion of the copper lead frames (432) to the ceramic substrate (402), and eliminating any remnant of the support bridges (434).
