摘要： A method for manufacturing a liquid discharge head comprises the steps of providing a head main body having liquid flow paths, and an aperture surface having flow path openings communicated with the flow paths; providing a discharge port plate having extrusions each on the circumference of an inside opening communicated with each of the discharge ports, being on the inner face on the side opposite to the discharge port surface provided with discharge ports for discharging liquid, and a base having a substantially flat surface. For this method, the discharge port plate is arranged in a state of these surfaces formed integrally to be in contact; bonding the aperture surface and the inner face to fit the extrusions into the flow path openings by pressing the head main body and the base in the direction of the head main body and the base approaching each other with the discharge port plate between them; and separating the base from other members. With the method of manufacture thus structure, the liquid discharge head presents an excellent discharge efficiency by the provision of the extrusions that enter the flow paths from the orifice plate. It also becomes possible to manufacture a highly reliable liquid discharge head by a simpler manufacturing apparatus in a shorter period of time at lower costs.

摘要： Patterning is performed to thermal oxide films 12a and 12b formed on both surface sides of a silicon substrate in which crystal orientation of a surface is (100) or (110), a liquid chamber pattern and a liquid supplying port pattern are formed, and a liquid chamber and a liquid supplying port are formed separately by anisotropically etching the silicon substrate from both surface sides at the same time. Then, a silicon nitride film is deposited with a low pressure chemical vapor deposition to both surface sides of the silicon substrate and all faces of the liquid chamber and the liquid supplying port which are formed by etching. As a result, when the silicon substrate is used for a top plate, stiffness of the top plate is improved, design freedom of the liquid chamber and the liquid supplying port is increased, misalignment is prevented in bonding to the substrate, degradation of ejecting performance is prevented, and a liquid discharge head having high preciseness and high reliability can be provided.
