    摘要: A method for improving fluidic flow for a microfluidic device having a through hole or slot therein. The method includes the steps of forming one or more openings through at least part of a thickness of a substrate from a first surface to an opposite second surface using a reactive ion etching process whereby an etch stop layer is applied to side wall surfaces in the one or more openings during alternating etching and passivating steps as the openings are etched through at least a portion of the substrate. Substantially all of the etch stop layer coating is removed from the side wall surfaces by treating the side wall surfaces using a method selected from chemical treatment and mechanical treatment, whereby a surface energy of the treated side wall surfaces is increased relative to a surface energy of the side wall surfaces containing the etch stop layer coating.

    摘要: A process for etching semiconductor substrates using a deep reactive ion etching process to produce through holes or slots (referred to collectively as “slots”) in the substrates. The process includes applying a first layer to a first surface of substrate to provide an etch mask material layer on the first surface of the substrate. A second layer is applied to a second surface of the substrate to provide an etch stop material layer on the second surface of the substrate. The first layer and the second layer have similar solubilities in one or more organic solvents. The substrate is etched from the first surface of the wafers to provide a slot in the substrate. After etching the substrate, the etch mask material layer and the etch stop material layer are removed by contacting the first surface and the second surface of the substrate with a single organic solvent.

    摘要: A method for forming a fluid feed via in a semiconductor substrate chip for a micro-fluid ejection head. The method includes applying a photoresist planarization and protection layer to a first surface of the chip. The photoresist planarization and protection layer is patterned and developed to define at least one fluid feed via location. A strippable layer is applied to the photoresist planarization and protection layer on the chip. The strippable layer is patterned and developed with a photomask to define the at least one fluid feed via location in the strippable layer. The chip is then dry etched to form at least one fluid feed via in the defined feed via location. Before or after etching the chip, deprotection of the strippable layer is induced so that the strippable layer can be substantially removed with a solvent without substantially affecting the photoresist planarization and protection layer.
