摘要： A micro-fluid ejection head conveys fluid to firing elements at differing heights in differing layers. The ejection head includes a base substrate. The firing elements are configured on the substrate to eject fluid upon activation. Individual elements are arrayed closer or farther to a common fluid via. A multiple-layer covering on the substrate defines nozzles openings corresponding to each firing element. A lower layer of the covering directs fluid to either the closer or farther elements while a higher layer directs fluid to the other elements. The lower and higher layers define channels to direct the fluid from the fluid via. The higher layer covers the channels in the lower layer, while a topmost layer covers the channels in the higher layer. Also, the topmost layer defines the nozzle openings in large and small opening sizes. Holes in the underlying layers register with the nozzle openings, but are oppositely sized.

摘要： A micro-fluid ejection head has multiple ejection chips joined adjacently to create a lengthy array across a media to-be-imaged. The chips have fluid firing elements arranged to seamlessly stitch together fluid ejections from adjacent chips. Each chip aligns with other chips at peripheral regions having edge tolerances closer than elsewhere along the periphery. The tolerances result from both etching and dicing during chip singulation. Etching occurs at the areas of alignment. Dicing occurs elsewhere. Etching techniques include deep reactive ion etching or wet etching. It cuts a planar periphery through an entire thickness of the wafer. The etching may also occur simultaneously with etching a fluid via. Dicing techniques include blade, laser or ion beam. It cuts an entire remainder of the periphery connecting the portions already etched to free single chips from the wafer. Edge tolerances, planar shapes, dicing lines, etch patterns, and wafer layout provide still further embodiments.

摘要： A micro-fluid ejection head has multiple ejection chips joined adjacently to create a lengthy array across a media to-be-imaged. The chips have fluid firing elements arranged along multiple fluid vias to seamlessly stitch together fluid ejections from different chips. Each of the chips has a shape defining a trapezoid. Adjacent chips are inverted from one to the next across the array. The geometry shortens a distance between same color fluid vias on adjacent chips. The fluid vias may parallel the two parallel sides of the trapezoid or only one non-parallel side. They may all have differing lengths. Same colored vias on adjacent chips may combine together to be equal to the length of fluid vias for other colors. Commonly configured modules define still other embodiments as do frames to seat the modules to define arrays of variable length. Singulating chips from larger wafers provide still further embodiments.

摘要： A micro-fluid ejection head has multiple ejection chips joined adjacently to create a lengthy array across a media to-be-imaged. The chips have fluid firing elements arranged along multiple fluid vias skewed variously to enable seamless stitching of fluid ejections. The firing elements are energized to eject fluid and individual ones are spaced according to colors or fluid types. Overlapping firing elements serve redundancy efforts during imaging for reliable print quality. Variable chips sizes and shapes, including chevrons, are disclosed as are relationships between differently colored fluid vias. Skew angles range variously each with noted advantages. Singulating chips from larger wafers provide still further embodiments as does increased usage of the wafer.
