摘要： A substrate is formed for use of an ink jet recording head provided with a plurality in heat generating members for generating thermal energy to be utilized for discharging ink, an interlayer film arranged for the lower layer of each of said heat generating members, and a protection layer for protecting said heat generating member. Each of the heat generating members of the substrate is structured by metal and insulator, and at the same time, the rate of metal content in the vicinity of the interfaces of the heat generating member becomes smaller than that in the center of the heat generating member in the film thickness direction thereof. With the structure of such member thus arranged, it is made possible to prevent or suppress interlayer peelings and cracks from taking place in each of the heat generating resistive layers where temperature changes are made intensely due to thermal cycle.

摘要： A method for manufacturing ink jet recording heads includes the steps of forming a film of a first inorganic material in the form of ink flow path pattern using a soluble first inorganic material on the substrate having ink-discharge, pressure-generating elements formed thereon, forming a film of a second inorganic material becoming ink flow walls on the film of the first inorganic material using the second inorganic material, forming ink-discharge openings on the film of the second inorganic material above the ink-discharge, pressure-generating elements, and eluting the film of the first inorganic material. With this method, it becomes possible to set the ink-discharge, pressure-generating elements and the ink-discharge openings (ports) of each head with extremely high precision in a shorter distance with a good reproducibility to record images with higher quality and without any deformation of the head due to the applied heat, while providing a good resistance to ink and erosion, as well as a higher dimensional precision and reliability that may be affected otherwise by swelling or the like.

摘要： A substrate for a recording head includes a circuit through which current flows upon impression of a source voltage, irrespective of the operating state of an energy converting element, and a current cutoff means for cutting off current to the circuit in response to an entered control signal. A reset signal for achieving a standby state of the printing operation serves as the control signal. The current cutoff circuit is operated when the reset signal is active in an H state, and it cuts off the constant current. By cutting off the constant current, the leak current of a heater power source VH may be accurately measured, permitting determination of whether the source voltage wiring is properly insulated from other circuit elements of the substrate. The constant current may also be cut off in the standby state, in which printing is not performed, so as to reduce power consumption.
