The method includes preparing a substrate on which a heater to heat an ink is formed on the front side thereof, forming a flow passage formation layer on the front side of the substrate such that the flow passage formation layer defines an ink flow passage, forming a nozzle layer provided with a nozzle on the flow passage formation layer, forming a first protective layer such that the first protective layer covers the flow passage formation layer and the nozzle layer, applying a mask material used to etch the substrate to the rear side of the substrate, applying a second protective layer to the lateral side of the substrate to protect the lateral side of the substrate, and forming an ink feed hole on the substrate by wet etching. Tantalum (Ta) is used as the mask material. Parylene is used as the second protective layer.

A method of fabricating an ink jet head having a metal chamber layer includes preparing a substrate having pressure-generating elements to generate pressure to eject ink ejection. The metal chamber layer to define sidewalls of an ink flow path is then formed on the substrate. A sacrificial layer is formed to fill a region where the ink flow path is to be formed between the sidewalls defined by the metal chamber layer. A nozzle layer having nozzles corresponding to the pressure-generating elements is formed on the metal chamber layer and the sacrificial layer.

Provided is a method of manufacturing an inkjet printhead. The method includes: preparing a substrate having thereon a heater for heating ink and an electrode for supplying current to the heater; applying a negative photoresist composition to the substrate having thereon the heater and the electrode and patterning the same to form a passage forming layer that surrounds an ink passage; patterning the substrate having thereon the passage forming layer by photolithography at least twice to form a sacrificial layer having a planarized upper surface in a space surrounded by the passage forming layer; applying the negative photoresist composition to the passage forming layer and the sacrificial layer and patterning the same to form a nozzle layer having a nozzle; etching the substrate from the rear surface thereof to be perforated to form an ink supply hole; and removing the sacrificial layer, wherein the negative photoresist composition includes a prepolymer that has a glycidyl ether functional group or a ring-opened glycidyl ether functional group on monomer repeating units thereof and a phenolic novolak resin-based backbone, a bisphenol A-based backbone, or an alicyclic-based backbone. The sacrificial layer may be planarized using a chemical mechanical polishing process. Therefore, an upper surface of the sacrificial layer can be planarized, and thus, it is possible to easily control a shape and dimension of an ink passage, thereby improving uniformity of the ink passage.

An inkjet printer head and method of fabricating the same includes a substrate having an ink-feed hole formed at a bottom surface of the substrate, a lower chamber formed at a top surface of the substrate, and a restrictor to fluid communicate between the ink-feed hole and the lower chamber, an oxide layer formed on the substrate, a heater formed on the oxide layer and disposed parallel to the surface of the substrate to cross the lower chamber, a lead electrically connected to the heater, and a nozzle layer disposed on the heater to configure an ink channel together with the lower chamber and having a nozzle at an upper portion of the nozzle layer. The inkjet printer head is capable of improving a thermal efficiency by heating the ink using both surfaces of the heater since the heater is disposed at a center of the ink chamber, and improving characteristics of the heater by making a current density and a current flow uniform since the heater is formed in a straight line without any bent or curved portion.

A hydrophobic coating layer is formed on a surface of a uppermost layer of the nozzle plate, and a droplet ejecting portion that has a diameter smaller than that of the nozzle of the nozzle plate and is disposed on the same axis as the nozzle, is formed in the hydrophobic coating layer. The nozzle plate is prevented from becoming wet due to ink, stability of an ink spray and a consecutive spray performance are improved, and thus a printing quality and a printing performance of the ink-jet printhead are generally improved.
