20090091604 | PROCESS FOR MAKING A MICRO-FLUID EJECTION HEAD STRUCTURE - A method of making a micro-fluid ejection head structure and micro-fluid ejection heads made by the method. The method includes applying a tantalum oxide layer to a surface of a fluid ejection actuator disposed on a device surface of a substrate so that the tantalum oxide layer is the topmost layer of a plurality of layers including a resistive layer, and a protective layer selected from a passivation layer, a cavitation layer, and a combination of a passivation layer and a cavitation layer. The tantalum oxide layer has a thickness (t) that satisfies an equation t=(ΒΌ*W/n), wherein W is a wavelength of radiation from a radiation source, and n is a refractive index of the tantalum oxide layer. A photoimageable layer is also applied to the substrate. The photoimageable layer is imaged with the radiation source and then developed. | 04-09-2009 |

20100165056 | Heater Stack In A Micro-Fluid Ejection Device And Method For Forming Floating Electrical Heater Element In The Heater Stack - A method for forming a floating heater element includes processing a silicon substrate to form a heater stack having the heater element on the substrate with peripheral edge portions, processing the heater stack by depositing and patterning a layer of photoresist or hard mask thereon to substantially mask the heater stack and form a trench through the photoresist or hard mask exposing a surface area of the substrate extending along the peripheral edge portions of the heater element, and processing the masked heater stack and exposed surface area of the substrate by sequentially removing the photoresist and portions of the substrate at the exposed surface area and that underlie the heater element so as to create a well in the substrate undercutting the heater element and open along the peripheral edge portions thereof, the well being capable of filling with a fluid so as to produce the floating heater element. | 07-01-2010 |
20100321447 | PROTECTIVE LAYERS FOR MICRO-FLUID EJECTION DEVICES AND METHODS FOR DEPOSITING SAME - Heater chips for a micro-fluid ejection device, such as those having a reduced energy requirement and more efficient production process therefor. One such heater chip includes a resistive layer deposited adjacent to a substrate and a protective layer deposited adjacent to the resistive layer. The protective layer can be a tantalum oxide protective layer, which has a high breakdown voltage. An optional cavitation layer of tantalum, which bonds well with the tantalum oxide layer, may be deposited adjacent to the protective layer. Alternatively, for example, the tantalum oxide layer may serve as both the protective layer and the cavitation layer. | 12-23-2010 |
