MICROFLUIDIC EJECTION CHIP, HEAD, DISPENSING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR FORMING THE SAME

A microfluidic ejection chip (22) includes a silicon substrate (30) having a fluid passageway (36). The fluid passageway (36) is defined by a silicon sidewall (30-2) of the silicon substrate (30) that is covered by a permanent passivation layer (38) to protect the silicon sidewall (30-2) from exposu...

Zusammenfassung:A microfluidic ejection chip (22) includes a silicon substrate (30) having a fluid passageway (36). The fluid passageway (36) is defined by a silicon sidewall (30-2) of the silicon substrate (30) that is covered by a permanent passivation layer (38) to protect the silicon sidewall (30-2) from exposure to an acidic fluid. The permanent passivation layer (38) is retained on the silicon sidewall (30-2) at a conclusion of etching of the silicon substrate (30) to form the fluid passageway (36).
