    摘要: A micro-fluid ejection assembly including a silicon substrate having accurately formed fluid paths therein. The fluid paths are formed by a deep reactive ion etching process conducted on a substrate having a surface characteristic before etching selected from the group consisting of a dielectric layer thickness of no more than about 5000 Angstroms, and a substantially dielectric material free pitted surface wherein a root mean square depth of surface pitting is less than about 500 Angstroms and a maximum surface pitting depth is no more than about 2500 Angstroms. Fluid paths in such substrates having improved flow characteristics for more reliable fluid ejection operations.

    摘要: A method of substantially simultaneously forming at least two fluid supply slots through a thickness of semiconductor substrate from a first surface to a second surface thereof. The method includes the steps of applying a photoresist layer to the first surface of the semiconductor substrate. The photoresist layer is patterned and developed using a gray scale mask for a first fluid supply slot. The semiconductor substrate is then reactive ion etched, to form the at least two fluid supply slots through the thickness of the substrate. The first fluid supply slot is substantially wider than the second fluid supply slot, and the first and second fluid supply slots are etched through the substrate at substantially the same rate.

    摘要: A method of micro-machining a semiconductor substrate to form one or more through slots therein. The semiconductor substrate has a device side and a fluid side opposite the device side. The method includes diffusing a p-type doping material into the device side of the semiconductor substrate in one or more through slot locations to be etched through a thickness of the substrates. The semiconductor substrate is then etched with a dry etch process from the device side of the substrate to the fluid side of the substrate so that one or more through slots having a reentrant profile are formed in the substrate.

    摘要: A method of micro-machining a semiconductor substrate to form through slots therein and substrates made by the method. The method includes providing a dry etching chamber having a platen for holding a semiconductor substrate. During an etching cycle of a dry etch process for the semiconductor substrate, a source power is decreased, a chamber pressure is decreased from a first pressure to a second pressure, and a platen power is increased from a first power to a second power. Through slots in the substrate provided by the method can have a reentrant profile for fluid flow therethrough.

    摘要: Methods of forming a fluid channel in a semiconductor substrate may include applying a material layer to at least one surface of the semiconductor substrate. The method may further include manipulating the material layer to form a surface topography corresponding to a channel, the surface topography being configured to control directionality of ion bombardment of said substrate along electromagnetic field lines in a plasma sheath coupled to said surface topography.
