摘要:
A thermal fluid-ejection mechanism includes a substrate having a top surface. A cavity formed within the substrate has one or more sidewalls and a floor. The angle of the sidewalls from the floor is greater than or equal to nominally ninety degrees. The thermal fluid-ejection mechanism includes a patterned conductive layer on one or more of the substrate's top surface and the cavity's sidewalls. The thermal fluid-ejection mechanism includes a patterned resistive layer on the sidewalls of the cavity. The patterned resistive layer is located over the patterned conductive layer where the patterned conductive layer is formed on the sidewalls of the cavity. The patterned resistive layer is formed as a heating resistor of the thermal-fluid ejection mechanism. The conductive layer is formed as a conductor of the thermal-fluid ejection mechanism, to permit electrical activation of the heating resistor to cause fluid to be ejected from the thermal fluid-ejection mechanism.

A fluid ejection device includes a firing chamber having a chamber floor with an orifice opposite the chamber floor and a heating element partially covering the chamber floor, a region of the chamber floor being contoured to define a cavity extending into the chamber floor.
摘要:
A ring-type heating resistor for a thermal fluid-ejection mechanism includes resistive segments and conductive segments. The resistive segments are rectangular in shape. The resistive segments are separated from one another. The conductive segments are interleaved in relation to the resistive segments such that each conductive segment electrically connects two of the resistive segments. The resistive segments and the conductive segments together form a pseudo-ring that approximates a true ring.
