摘要： An improved method is disclosed for forming heater elements for an ink jet printhead. The resistance is more closely controlled by doping a central heater region which is formed relatively thinner than the heavily doped heater regions which are used as the gate and contact areas. The thinner central region can doped relatively heavy in order to more accurately adjust the heater resistance.In another embodiment, the thin layer is amorphous silicon rather than the polysilicon to increase the latitude of the energy input.

摘要： The systems and methods of this invention allows for an electrical contact structure of the drop ejecting transducer in an inkjet printhead to be designed in such a way that the relatively thick electrical contact lines are not in the ink drop ejection path between the drop ejector transducer and the corresponding nozzle. Such a design thereby minimizes any visible defects due to misdirected satellite drops.

摘要： The efficiency of a thermal ink jet printhead is improved by providing a thermally grown field oxide layer and a deposited oxide layer, the two combined layers providing thermal insulation between a resistor layer and a silicon substrate. In a preferred embodiment, zirconium diboride is sputtered in the presence of oxygen to form a thin field oxide layer on a field oxide layer grown on the surface of the silicon substrate. At a predetermined time, during the sputtering process, oxygen is removed and the sputtering continues to form a conductive ZrB.sub.2 layer. The combined thickness of the two oxide layers provides the required thermal isolation between silicon substrate and heater resistor while the thermally grown field oxide layer enables the closer packing of resistor transistor drive circuits.

摘要： A thermal ink jet printhead is improved by providing a heater resistor which is mechanically isolated from overlying nitride and tantalum layers by growing a thin buffer oxide layer on the surface of the resistor heater layer. The introduction of the buffer oxide layer permits a thinner nitride layer which, in turn, reduces electrical resistance changes which would otherwise be introduced into the resistor arrays by mechanical stress after the nitride layer is deposited.

摘要： The nucleation efficiency of a thermal ink jet printhead is improved by forming a heater element with a planar surface. A heater resistor, polysilicon in a preferred embodiment, has an irregular surface which can trap gas or vapors in the cracks or crevices. When the heater resistor is pulsed, the nucleation temperature is reduced by these trapped vapors requiring an increase in electrical input to the resistors, thereby reducing efficiency. The invention recognizes that a heater resistor with a planar surface in contact with an ink layer results in a higher nucleation temperature and increased efficiency. In one embodiment, a phosphosilicate glass (PSG) is flowed directly onto the resistor surface forming a planarization layer. Subsequent deposition of tantalum substantially replicates the underlying topography creating a heater resistor with a smooth surface adjacent the ink.In a second embodiment, a diffusion layer which is conformal is formed on the resistor surface with the PSG layer formed on the oxide layer. The diffusion layer can be a pyrolytic CVD deposited silicon nitride or a thermally grown oxide layer. The PSG layer has a planarized surface to which the tantalum conforms.

摘要： An ink jet printhead has improved resistance to the corrosive effects of ink by coating the surface of a photo-imageable polymer with an ink resistant film. In one described embodiment, a thermal ink jet element is formed by bonding together a channel plate and a heater plate. Resistors and electrical connections are formed in the heater plate. A polyimide layer is formed so as to overlie the heater plate to protect the electrical elements while providing pit structure for the heater and for ink flow bypass. A tantalum film is formed on the surface of the polyimide layer to protect the layer from the effects of corrosive ink. In another embodiment, the ink resistant film is amorphous carbon or silicon nitride.

摘要： A thermal oxidation process is used to fill trenches with an oxide; however, the oxidation process consumes some of the silicon. The embodiments herein advantageously apply this tendency for the oxidation process to consume silicon so as to convert all the silicon substrate material between the multiple trenches into an oxide. Therefore, because all of the silicon between the multiple trenches is consumed by the oxidation process, the multiple smaller trenches are combined into a single larger trench filled with the oxide.

摘要： The new heater element design has a pit layer which protects the overglaze passivation layer, PSG step region, portions of the Ta layer and dielectric isolation layer and junctions or regions susceptible to the cavitational pressures. Further, the inner walls of the pit layer define the effective heater area and the dopant lines define the actual heater area. In alternative embodiments, the dopant lines define the actual and effective heater areas, and an inner wall and a dopant line define the actual and effective heater areas. Further, when the new heater element designs are incorporated into printheads having full pit channel geometry and open pit channel geometry, the operating lifetime of the printhead is extended because the added protection of the pit layer prevents: 1) passivation damage and cavitational damages of the heater elements; and 2) degradation of heater robustness, hot spot formations and heater failures well into the 109 pulse range. The printhead incorporating the new heater element design can be incorporated into drop-on-demand printing systems of a carriage type or a full width type.
