    摘要: A wet etch bath (61) holds a wet etchant (52) for etching a dielectric over a semiconductor substrate. The wet etch bath (61) has a tub (63) separated from a reservoir (64) by a wall (65). The tub (63) is filled with the wet etchant (52) to a height of the wall (65). The reservoir (64) is filled with the wet etchant (52) to a height less than the height of the wall. A pump (66) coupled to the reservoir (64) pumps the wet etchant (52) through an osmotic membrane degasifier (69) to the tub (63). Adding the wet etchant (52) to the tub (63) causes the wet etchant (52) to cascade over the wall (65) back to the reservoir (64). The osmotic membrane degasifier (69) reduces a concentration of a reactive agent in the wet etchant (52).

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a method of cleaning a semiconductor substrate after a DRIE etch process, wherein residue from the DRIE process is removed without damaging the substrate. The process may include contacting the micro-fluid ejection head with an aqueous solution of TMAH, stripping a photoresist etch mask from the micro-fluid ejection head, and dissolving a passivating coating from the substrate. Then the substrate may be contacted with an acidic solution. The method may further include rinsing and drying the substrate.

    摘要: A process for making a substantially planar micro-fluid ejection head is disclosed, and includes depositing a basic solution on a first surface of a device substrate. The first surface having the basic solution deposited thereon is contacted together with a surface of a support material for a duration ranging from about 1 minute to about 15 minutes, at a temperature ranging from about 20° C. to about 90° C. so that the first surface having the basic solution deposited thereon and the surface of the support material form a bond therebetween to hermetically seal the support material and the device substrate to one another. Both the substrate and the at least one surface of the support comprise silicon, and at least one of the device substrate and the at least one surface of the support material is substantially composed of silicon.

    摘要: A heater chip has a substrate and at least one die, made of silicon, and a bond non-adhesively attaching them. The substrate, thick enough to resist bowing, has ink supply vias from back to front surfaces. The die has ink flow vias from back to front surfaces and circuitry including heater elements adjacent the front surface interspersed with ink flow vias. The at least one die is superimposed on the substrate such that ink supply vias of the substrate align with ink flow vias of the die and portions of substrate front surface and die back surface are aligned, disposed adjacent and facing one another. The bond formed between substrate and die facing surface portions is hermetic and equal in strength to a Si—O bond. A metal through the die connects a conductor on a front of the substrate to a heater element on a front of the die.

    摘要: A wafer has a substrate and a photoresist layer thereon with a surface that is planarized by positioning over a starting surface of the photoresist layer a gray-scale mask having a pattern that correlates with a gradient height profile of unevenness present on the starting surface, patterning the photoresist layer using the gray-scale mask to produce the pattern thereof in the photoresist layer which, in effect, produces a profile of evenness in the photoresist layer underlying the gradient height profile of unevenness, and developing the patterned photoresist layer such that only a three-dimensional portion thereof corresponding to the gradient height profile of unevenness located above the profile of evenness is removed which, in effect, leaves behind a resulting surface on the photoresist layer made substantially more even and thus substantially in a planarized condition.
