A method for manufacturing a liquid jet head is provided which includes a flow channel board having at least pressure-generating chambers communicating with nozzle holes and a pressure generator above one surface that applies pressure for jetting liquid to the pressure-generating chambers, and a silicon single-crystal reservoir board having at least a reservoir section that communicates with the pressure-generating chambers and that is defined by a through hole passing through the reservoir board and a step with a riser formed so as to open up the through hole at one surface. In the method, a mask pattern having an opening is formed on a reservoir-forming board intended for the reservoir board. The opening has a correction pattern on its wall and a dummy mask pattern is formed in the opening. The correction pattern serves to expose a predetermined crystal plane of the reservoir-firming board to define the riser of the step. The dummy mask pattern has a plurality of separate mask portions and serves to substantially match the etching rate of the reservoir-forming board in the region opposing the correction pattern with the etching rate of the reservoir-forming board in the region opposing the opening of the mask pattern. The reservoir-forming board is anisotropically etched through the mask pattern having the correction pattern and the dummy mask pattern, so that the reservoir section having the step is formed.

A liquid jet head includes: a passage-forming substrate provided with at least two rows of pressure generating chambers each communicating with a nozzle orifice; and piezoelectric elements for causing pressure change in the pressure generating chambers. The piezoelectric elements are provided on one side of the passage-forming substrate with a vibration plate interposed therebetween. On a joint plate joined to the piezoelectric element side of the passage-forming substrate, driving ICs for driving the piezoelectric elements are provided in regions facing the respective rows of the pressure generating chambers. For each row of the pressure generating chambers, at least one penetrated hole, in which lead electrodes led from the piezoelectric elements are exposed, is provided in a region of the joint plate, the region corresponding to a region between the rows of the pressure generating chambers. A beam portion is formed between the adjacent penetrated holes.

Disclosed are a method f manufacturing a silicon device and a method of manufacturing a liquid jet head, which are capable of surely preventing damage of a piezoelectric element in manufacturing. In forming a thin-film pattern on one surface of a silicon wafer 100, a first moisture permeation preventive layer 96, which is so as to surround the entire thin-film pattern of the silicon wafer 100, is formed in the same layer as a first conductive layer 96 on the silicon wafer 100, a second moisture permeation preventive layer 114 having a narrower width than the first moisture permeation preventive layer 96 is formed in the same layer as an insulation layer 100 on the first moisture permeation preventive layer 96, and a third moisture permeation preventive layer 121 is formed in the same layer as a second conductive layer 120 on the second moisture permeation preventive layer 114 so as to cover the second moisture permeation preventive layer 114. Thus, a moisture permeation preventive pattern 130 is formed. Thereafter, a sealing plate is joined to the silicon wafer 100 through the moisture permeation preventive pattern 130 interposed therebetween, and a concave portion is formed by etching from the other surface of the silicon wafer 100. Thus, a silicon device is manufactured.
