Abstract:
A liquid ejection head, a liquid ejector and a process for manufacturing a liquid ejection head which, when applied to a thermal ink jet printer, for example, can reduce parasitic resistance caused by a metallization layer pertaining to a wiring pattern by ensuring a sufficient film thickness of the metallization layer. The wiring pattern (44) is formed by using dry etching in patterning and connected with a heating element (39) through a contact part (41), i.e. an opening, made through an insulating protective layer (40).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to accurately and rapidly measure the consumption depth of the erosion area of a target at a job site side. SOLUTION: The interval between the fixed leg 504 and the movable leg 505 of a measuring jig 5 is adjusted in accordance with the diameter of a target 1, the legs 504 and 505 are mounted on a backing plate 7, and thereby the jig 5 is supported at three points in the state that the target/is spanned radially with the jig 5. Thereafter, the measuring element 303 of a measuring instrument 3 is inserted from the inserting port 503 corresponding to the position desired to be measured of the erosion region of the target 1 until the lower surface of a gage collar 304 is brought into contact with the upper surface of a support member 501, and the end of the element 303 is pushed in contact with the erosion area desired to be measured, thereby measuring the consumption depth of the erosion area of the target 1.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form thin films of the same composing materials and different composition ratios such as a heating element and a cavitation resistant layer of a printer head by sputtering using one kind of a target in an application to, for example, an inkjet printer by a thermal system. SOLUTION: The liquid discharging head 11 is configured to eject liquid droplets of a liquid from predetermined nozzles by heating the liquid held in a liquid chamber through driving of a heating element 20. Moreover, the heating element and a protecting layer 26 provided at a face of the heating element side of the liquid chamber to protect the heating element are formed by sputtering using the targets of the same composing materials and the same composition ratio of the composing materials while a distance L to the target is made different. The heating element and the protecting layer 26 are formed of the same composing materials by desired different composition ratios of the composing materials. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a process for manufacturing a head in which separation of a substrate and a photosensitive resin layer and separation of the photosensitive resin layer and a sheet provided with nozzles can be prevented while applying an existing manufacturing process as it is. SOLUTION: The process for manufacturing a liquid ejection head comprises a step for forming a photosensitive resin layer 21 on a substrate 14 arranged with energy generating elements, a step for patterning liquid chambers by exposing a part of the photosensitive resin layer 21 and then removing unexposed part, and a step for pasting a sheet provided with nozzles to the expose surface of the photosensitive resin layer 21 remaining on the substrate 14. After the liquid chambers are patterned, at least the exposed surface of the photosensitive resin layer 21 is coated with a protective film 22 and the protective film 22 is separated before the sheet is pasted.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inkjet head having a heating element covered with a protection film superior in a scorching characteristic and a corrosion resistance, and a manufacturing method for the same. SOLUTION: In the inkjet head for ejecting ink by heating it by means of the heating element, a content of tantalum of a protection layer consisting of coating film containing tantalum applied on the heating element is continuously varied in the depth direction of the protection layer. Particularly, the content of the tantalum is gradually increased toward the surface of the protection layer. In order to vary the content of the tantalum in the tantalum-containing coating film, a distance between a tantalum-containing target and the heating element is varied when spattering using the tantalum-containing target is carried out. Particularly, the protection layer is formed by gradually increasing the distance between the target and the heating element. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
