摘要： An improved ink jet printhead is disclosed of the type having a plurality of parallel ink flow channels which terminate with an ink droplet emitting nozzle, a heating element with a cavitational protective layer thereover located in each channel, and MOS electronic circuitry monolithically integrated within the printhead for applying electrical pulses to the heating elements. The pulsed heating elements produce bubbles momentarily on the protective layer of the heating elements which expel ink droplets from the nozzles. The improvement is obtained by providing multi-layer ionic passivation of the MOS electronic circuitry which is exposable to the ink. This is accomplished through the deposition of a multi-layered, thin film insulative coating thereon consisting of a first layer of doped or undoped silicon dioxide having a thickness of 200 .ANG. to 2 .mu.m followed by a second layer of plasma nitride having a thickness of 1000 .ANG. to 3 .mu.m. The silicon nitride is etched from the protective layers of the heating elements and electrical contact pads for external connection to electrical power so that the first layer of silicon oxide is exposed, followed by etching of the silicon oxide to remove it from the protective layer and contact pads. Thus, the MOS circuitry is protected from mobile ions in the ink while the cost effective fabrication of a printhead is maintained. In an alternate embodiment, the multi-layered ionic passivation comprises three thin film layers comprising polyimide interfacing with the ink, followed by silicon nitride, and doped or undoped silicon dioxide directly interfacing with the metallization.

摘要： An ink-jet printhead fabrication technique enables capillary channels for liquid ink to be formed with square or rectangular cross-sections. A sacrificial layer is placed over the main surface of a silicon chip, the sacrificial layer being patterned in the form of the void formed by the desired ink channels. A permanent layer, comprising permanent material, is applied over the sacrificial layer, and, after polishing the two layers to form a uniform surface, the sacrificial layer is removed. Preferred materials for the sacrificial layer include polyimide while preferred materials for the permanent layer include polyarylene ether, although a variety of material combinations are possible.

摘要： An improved microelectromechanical device, such as a thermal ink jet die or printhead, is formed by the alignment of two planar substrates bonded together by an intermediate thick film layer of patterned polymeric material, such as polyimide. The improved device has a fully cured, patterned thick film layer which is planarized by chemical-mechanical polishing-to improve the bonding strength between the substrates. The planarization removes topographical formations generated during the deposition of the thick film layer and/or during the patterning of the recesses therein.

摘要： In a thermal ink jet printhead with a protective layer, the protective layer is made of a thin film material having a melting point not less than about 1000.degree. C. A deposition process for preparing the thin film material produces a thin film material having, at an operating temperature for the thermal ink jet printer, a thermal conductivity coefficient not less than about 10 W/m.K, a compressive yield strength not less than about 1400 MPa, and a compressive residual stress of not greater than about 1200 MPa. The protective layer is smooth, substantially free of pores and impervious to stress corrosion or hydrogen stress cracking at a hydrogen uptake rate of less than about 5 ppm. The protective layer may also contain an adhesion enhancing region between the protective layer and an underlying layer or an anodic region contiguous with an underlying thin film material of the protective layer. The adhesion enhancing region is a reaction product between an ambient gas and the thin film material of the protective layer and extends only to the grain boundaries of the protective layer. The contiguous anodic region is substantially free of pores, has a homogeneous composition, protects an underlying thin film material against corrosive species and hydrogen and is formed by anodization of the underlying thin film in an aqueous electrolytic process.

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： An ink jet printhead has improved resistance to the corrosive effects of ink by coating ink sensitive areas with a photo-imageable benzocyclobutene (BCB) polymer. The BCB can be patterned so as to provide a protective coating over selected areas while leaving other areas uncoated. In one described embodiment, a thermal ink jet printer is formed by bonding together a channel plate and a heater plate. Resistors and electrical connections are formed in the surface of the heater plate. A BCB 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.

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.

摘要： A drive transistor for a high resolution ink jet printhead having a pocket implant in the gate region of the device. The pocket implant enables a reduced source to drain spacing without loss of breakdown voltage. Accordingly, the size of the transistor may be reduced. Alternatively, this device is suitable for addressing 1200 spi resolution printheads. In one embodiment, the pocket implant extends about 1 .mu.m beyond the gate region towards the drain region. Both embodiments produce a graded drift region.

摘要： A high voltage MOS transistor, for use in a thermal ink jet printhead, is fabricated with a single, uniformly thick layer of polysilicon that serves as a field plate over the drift region and a gate over the channel region. The fabrication of the drift region and associated drift oxide is performed in a sequence independent of the device channel stop and field oxide fabrication, allowing the drift region to be optimized by varying the thickness of the drift oxide. Using a field plate to increase the breakdown voltage of the device by reducing the concentration of the electric field, the device transconductance is increased by increasing the doping of the drift region without an attendant decrease in breakdown voltage.

摘要： Patterned photoresist layers formed on substrates have features with high aspect ratios. The photoresist layers can be formed as single layers with aspect ratios as high as about 4:1. In addition, the features in the photoresist layers can have a wide range of aspect ratios in a given single layer. The photoresist layers can be used in ink jet print heads and other devices to provide controlled fluid flow. The photoresist layers are formed using a contrast enhancement material that enables features having substantially vertical side walls and high aspect ratios to be formed.
