    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A semiconductor circuit integrated with CMOS circuits for receiving a TTL input voltage and generating a large negative and positive voltage swing with respect to p-type or n-type substrate is disclosed. This invention is based on elimination of the electro-static discharge (ESD) protection circuit which is a requirement for any integrated circuit. Eliminating the ESD protection circuit also eliminates the clamping feature of the ESD protection circuit and therefore the circuit can be driven to negative voltages for PMOS circuits and to positive voltages for NMOS circuits. This provides the possibility of connecting the drain of a a P-channel type metal oxide silicon field effect (PMOS) transistor, which is fabricated on a p-type substrate within an n-well, to a voltage below the the substrate voltage. Also, in a n-channel type metal oxide silicon field effect (NMOS) transistor which is fabricated on a n-type substrate within a P-well, the drain can be connected to voltages higher than the substrate voltage. Utilizing this feature of a MOS transistor provides a way to design an integrated circuit which can handle negative voltage swings as well as positive voltage swings.

    摘要: The present invention provides an ink jet printhead that is provided a bias voltage and that includes at least one ink channel, a heating element, and an interconnect. The ink channel has an open end that serves as a nozzle, and the heating element is positioned in the channel for ejecting ink droplets from the nozzle by selective application of current pulses along the interconnect to the heating element. The printhead further includes a conductive protective region that is positioned adjacent the heating element and that has a portion thereof exposed to the ink channel for protecting the heating element from ink. Positioned between the conductive protective region and the heating element is a dielectric region for insulating the heating element from the conductive protective region. The printhead also includes a bus for connecting the bias voltage to the conductive protective region.

    摘要: A position detector for a scanning beam comprising a plurality of rows of spaced apart sensors. Each row of sensors includes a plurality of logic zero sensors and a plurality of logic one sensors which are arranged in alternating logic order. Each row is arranged such that it is symmetrical about its center. Equal areas of logic zero sensors on each side of the center are equal distances away from the center and equal areas of logic one sensors on each side of the center are equal distances away from the center to substantially cancel out any background light effects on the sensors.

    摘要: A thermal ink jet printer utilizes a printhead whose electrical connections to the heating elements used to expel the ink droplets has been modified to reduce the effects of parasitic resistance of a first power bus when a number of resistors are simultaneously addressed. The first power bus has been modified by forming and interconnecting to it a second power bus using a low resistance connection which is formed to crossover, or under, a common return. The second power bus is connected at each end to a predetermined voltage, while the first power bus is connected at each end through a series ballast resistor to the same predetermined voltage.
