    Abstract: A method of forming a fluid ejector includes forming a recess well into a silicon wafer on a first side of the silicon wafer, and filling the recess well with a sacrificial material. A thin layer structure is deposited onto the first side of a silicon wafer covering the filled recess well. Then a thin film piezoelectric is bonded or deposited to the thin layer structure, and a hole is formed in the thin layer structure exposing at least a portion of the sacrificial material. The sacrificial material is removed from the recess well, wherein the hole in the thin layer in the recess well with the sacrificial material removed, form a fluid inlet. An opening area in the silicon wafer is formed on a second side of the silicon wafer. Then a nozzle plate is formed having a recess portion and an aperture within the recess portion. The nozzle plate is attached to the second side of the silicon wafer, with the recess portion positioned within the open area. The thin layer structure and the recess portion of the nozzle plate define a depth of a fluid cavity defined by the thin layer structure, the recess portion of the nozzle plate and the sidewalls of the silicon wafer.

    Abstract: A method of jet-printing smooth micro-scale features is presented. The desired feature prior to being printed is masked by various decimation filters and the decimation is performed at various pitches. The subsequently printed image is then scanned and analyzed to determine the roughness of the lines. The optimum decimation pitch is determined by the feature that exhibits the least amount of droplet spreading and has the lowest edge roughness. The optimum decimation pitch may also be calculated from the material properties and the dynamics of fluids.

    Abstract: A method for producing a semiconductor wafer (1) with one or more micro-mirrors (5) formed in a membrane layer (2) which is supported on a handle layer (3) with a buried oxide layer (6) between the membrane and handle layers (2,3) which avoids rupturing of tethers (7) which support the micro-mirrors (5) in the membrane layer (2) and also avoids bowing of the micro-mirrors (5). After trenches (14) are formed in the membrane layer (2) for defining the micro-mirrors (5) and the tethers (7), and prior to forming of through bores (9) through the handle layer (3) to the micro-mirrors (5), a support layer (20) of oxide is deposited on the exposed surface (12) of the membrane layer (2) over the micro-mirrors (5) and the tethers (7) and is back filled into the trenches (14) for supporting bridging portions (16) of the buried oxide layer (6). The buried oxide layer (6) acts as an etch stop layer for the through bores (9), and stresses which are induced in exposed portions (19) of the buried oxide layer (6) exposed by the through bores (9) during etching of the through bores (9) are counteracted by the support layer (20) which prevents rupturing of the bridging portions (16), thereby preventing rupturing of the tethers (7). By counteracting the stresses induced in the exposed portions (19) of the buried oxide layer (6) bowing of the exposed portions (19) is avoided and thus bowing of the micro-mirrors (5) is also avoided.
