A method of manufacturing an inkjet printhead includes preparing a substrate having a heater to hear ink and an electrode to supply current to the heater, applying a crosslinked polymer resist composition to the substrate having the heater and the electrode and patterning the same, and forming a passage forming layer that surrounds an ink passage, patterning the substrate having the passage forming layer by photolithography at least twice, and forming a sacrificial layer having a planarized top surface in a space surrounded by the passage forming layer, applying the crosslinked polymer resist composition to the passage forming layer and the sacrificial layer and patterning the same, and forming a nozzle layer having a nozzle, etching the substrate from the bottom surface thereof to be perforated, and forming an ink supply hole, and removing the sacrificial layer, wherein the crosslinked polymer resist composition comprises a precursor polymer that is a phenolic novolak resin having glycidyl ether functional groups on repeating monomer units.

An inkjet printer head includes a substrate having an ink-feed hole to supply ink stored in a cartridge to an ink chamber and a restrictor in fluid communication with the ink chamber, an oxide layer formed on the substrate, a heater disposed on the oxide layer above the restrictor and having fixed parts disposed on the oxide layer, slopes extending upward and away from the restrictor at an incline, and a parallel part extending between the slopes parallel to the substrate, a lead formed to be in electrical contact with the heater, a chamber layer formed to cover the lead and to define the ink chamber, and a nozzle layer formed on the chamber layer and having a nozzle. In the inkjet printer head, the lifespan of the heater may be extended since the heater is supported by the slopes, which function as a shock absorbing member when ink supply pressure or cavitation force is applied to a surface of the heater. In addition, since the heater does not have a right angle structure, the heater may be formed to have a uniform thickness even when a thin layer used for the heater is formed by a deposition method.

Provided is a method of manufacturing an inkjet printhead. The method includes: preparing a substrate having thereon a heater for heating ink and an electrode for supplying current to the heater; applying a negative photoresist composition to the substrate having thereon the heater and the electrode and patterning the same to form a passage forming layer that surrounds an ink passage; patterning the substrate having thereon the passage forming layer by photolithography at least twice to form a sacrificial layer having a planarized upper surface in a space surrounded by the passage forming layer; applying the negative photoresist composition to the passage forming layer and the sacrificial layer and patterning the same to form a nozzle layer having a nozzle; etching the substrate from the rear surface thereof to be perforated to form an ink supply hole; and removing the sacrificial layer, wherein the negative photoresist composition includes a prepolymer that has a glycidyl ether functional group or a ring-opened glycidyl ether functional group on monomer repeating units thereof and a phenolic novolak resin-based backbone, a bisphenol A-based backbone, or an alicyclic-based backbone. The sacrificial layer may be planarized using a chemical mechanical polishing process. Therefore, an upper surface of the sacrificial layer can be planarized, and thus, it is possible to easily control a shape and dimension of an ink passage, thereby improving uniformity of the ink passage.
摘要:
An inkjet printer head includes a substrate having a manifold and an ink channel to supply ink, a nozzle plate formed on the substrate, a chamber formed between the substrate and the nozzle plate and extending toward the substrate and the nozzle plate, an electrode formed at an interface between the substrate and the nozzle plate and around the chamber, and a heater having both ends extending in contact with the electrode to be suspended on the chamber in direct contact with the ink and to generate bubbles from both surfaces thereof. The inkjet printer head is capable of improving manufacturing process efficiency by omitting a process of separately forming a heater passivation layer, operating the heater at low electric power by omitting the heater passivation layer, improving integrity of a nozzle by lowering a working voltage, and improving reliability in manufacturing processes by locating the suspended heater to be in parallel with the substrate and the electrode.
