    Abstract: The microfluidic device has a plurality of ejector elements. Each ejector element includes a first region, accommodating a first fluid flow channel and an actuator chamber; a second region, accommodating a fluid containment chamber; and a third region, accommodating a second fluid flow channel. The fluid containment chamber is fluidically coupled to the first and to the second fluid flow channels. The second region is formed from a membrane layer, from a membrane definition layer, mechanically coupled to the membrane layer and having a membrane definition opening, and a fluid chamber defining body, mechanically coupled to the membrane definition layer and having a chamber defining opening, with a width greater than the width of the membrane definition opening. The width of the membrane is thus defined by the width of the chamber defining opening.

    Abstract: The fluid ejection microfluidic device, has a substrate; a buried cavity within the first substrate; a membrane formed by the first substrate and extending between the buried cavity and a first main surface of the substrate; and an access channel extending through the substrate, laterally and externally to the buried cavity and to the membrane and isolated with respect to the buried cavity. A sealed actuation structure extends over the first main surface of the substrate. A containment layer, of polymeric material, extends over the first main surface of the substrate and forms a fluid containment chamber accommodating the sealed actuation structure. A nozzle body of semiconductor material closes the fluid containment chamber at the top and is traversed by an ejection opening, forming, together with the fluid containment chamber and the access channel, a fluidic path.
