    摘要: A continuous stream ink jet printer is provided having an ink droplet forming mechanism for ejecting a stream of ink droplets having a selected one of at least two different volumes toward a print medium and a droplet deflector and ink conduit which are integrally formed to the printhead for producing a flow of gas that interacts with the ink droplet stream to separate droplets having different volumes and collects all droplets not used for printing. The provision of integrally forming the gutter system with the droplet forming mechanism eliminates the requirement to align an external gutter system upon full print engine assembly.

    摘要: A continuous ink jet print head is formed using a combination of traditional CMOS technology to form the various controlling electrical circuits on a silicon substrate having insulating layer(s) which provide electrical connections and a MEMS technology for forming nozzle openings. A blocking structure is formed in the insulating layer(s) between a first ink channel formed in the silicon substrate and a second ink channel formed in the insulating layer(s). The blocking structure causes ink to flow around the blocking structure and thereby develop lateral flow components to the liquid entering the second channel so that, for droplets selected for printing, as the stream of droplets emanates from the bore of the nozzle, there is provided a reduced amount of heat needed for operating a heating element adjacent each nozzle opening.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a mechanical grating device is presented. The device consists of a plurality of parallel-suspended ribbons that are deformed using, for example, an electrostatic force to actuate alternate ribbons. Actuation is a deformation of the ribbon resulting from an applied voltage to affect the height of the ribbons above a substrate. The method for manufacturing a mechanical gating device comprises the steps of: providing a spacer layer on top of a protective layer which covers a substrate; etching a channel entirely through the spacer layer; depositing a sacrificial layer at least as thick as the spacer layer; rendering the deposited sacrificial layer optically coplanar by chemical mechanical polishing; providing a tensile ribbon layer completely covering the area of the channel; providing a conductive layer patterned in the form of a grating; transferring the conductive layer pattern to the ribbon layer and etching entirely through the ribbon layer; and removing entirely the sacrificial layer from the channel.

    摘要: A method for singulating a semiconductor silicon wafer (10) comprising a plurality of semiconductor dice (20) arranged along a multiplicity of intersecting streets (30). Initially, a layer of photoresist (15)is patterned on the backside of the wafer (10). The semiconductor silicon wafer (10) is then etched using dry etching methods. As such, slots (22) are etched through the silicon of the wafer (10) aligned to the streets (30) forming a perforation. Simultaneously, tethers (40) are formed between the slots (22) interconnecting the adjacent dice (20) in order to maintain the wafer (10) mechanically intact. Furthermore, a membrane comprising integrated circuitry on the silicon wafer (10) is formed. The dice (20) of the wafer (10) are then separated for various purposes along the perforations. This is accomplished by applying pressure, such as manual pressure, to the wafer (10) so as to sever the tethers (40) which interconnect the dice (20) at their region (50) of reduced dimension.

    摘要: An ink jet print head is formed of a silicon substrate that includes an integrated circuit formed therein for controlling operation of the print head. The silicon substrate has one or more ink channels formed therein along the longitudinal direction of the nozzle array. An insulating layer or layers overlie the silicon substrate and has a series or an array of nozzle openings or bores formed therein along the length of the substrate and each nozzle opening communicates with an ink channel. The area comprising the nozzle openings forms a generally planar surface to facilitate maintenance of the printhead. A heater element is associated with each nozzle opening or bore for asymmetrically heating ink as ink passes through the nozzle opening or bore.
