Description

Be used for the substrate of ink gun, the ink gun and the manufacture method thereof of the described substrate of use
Technical field
The present invention relates to be ejected into the used substrate of ink gun of the recording medium that comprises paper, plastic sheet, cloth, article etc. such as the functional liquid of printing ink; Use the ink gun and the manufacture method thereof of this substrate.
Background technology
For a kind of conventional structure that is used for the ink gun of ink mist recording, can adopt a kind of like this structure, a plurality of outlets, the ink flow passage that links to each other with these outlets and a plurality of electrothermal conversioning element that can produce the heat energy that is used for ink-jet wherein are set.Each electrothermal conversioning element has heating resistor and for heating resistor provides the electrode of electric energy, and this electrothermal conversioning element scribbles insulation film to guarantee the insulation between each electrothermal conversioning element.Each ink flow passage links to each other with common liquid chamber at its place, end relative with the outlet of ink flow passage, and in common liquid chamber, is stored by the printing ink of supplying with as the ink box of printing ink storage container parts.The printing ink that supplies to public ink chamber leads to each ink flow passage so that printing ink forms meniscus near outlet.In this state, electrothermal conversioning element is selectively driven to produce heat energy, and then utilize the energy that produced fast to the printing ink heating and on the heat effect surface, produce bubble, so that under by the pressure that described state variation caused, discharge printing ink.
Therefore during the printing ink efflux time, the heat effect of ink gun partly is heated resistor heats and is exposed under the higher temperature, and simultaneously, heat effect is partly united and is subjected to because the foaming of printing ink and cavitation shock that contraction causes and the chemical action of printing ink.This chemical action of printing ink can be brought following phenomenon.Particularly, be included in look material in the printing ink, additive etc. and at high temperature be heated, thus they on molecular level, decompose and change into and be difficult to dissolved substances, described material physically is absorbed on the upper protective layer.This phenomenon is known as fouling (kogation).When the organic and inorganic substances that are difficult to dissolve were absorbed on the upper protective layer by this way, the heat conduction from the heating resistor to printing ink became inhomogeneous, and therefore, bubbling becomes unstable.
Up to now, the Ta film that can stand the chemical action of cavitation shock and printing ink largely has been formed to such an extent that have the thickness of 0.2 to 0.5 μ m, thereby can increase the service life and the reliability of ink gun.
With reference to Fig. 9, will make detailed description about the foaming of printing ink and the state that foaming stops to be caused in the heat effect part.
Curve among Fig. 9 (a) shows at driving voltage V Op=1.3 * V Th(V ThExpression printing ink foaming threshold voltage), driving frequency is set to 6kHz and pulse width is set under the situation of 5 μ s, the moment when voltage is applied in heating resistor begins the surface temperature change in time of upper protective layer.In addition, curve (b) shows moment when voltage is applied in heating resistor in a similar manner begin to be shaped growth state of bubble.Shown in the curve (a), begin the rising of temperature from the moment that voltage is applied in, and observe the back (this is slightly to arrive upper protective layer evening owing to come from the heat of heating resistor) that the temperature rise peak value is in the predetermined pulse time slightly.Afterwards, mainly reduce owing to the thermal diffusion temperature.On the other hand, shown in curve (b), when the temperature when upper protective layer reaches about 300 ℃, beginning the growth of bubble, and reach maximum foaming afterwards, foaming stops.In actual ink gun, repeat aforesaid operations.By this way, along with the foaming of printing ink, the surface temperature of upper protective layer is elevated to for example about 600 ℃, and this explanation is carried out ink mist recording by the heat effect under the high temperature.
Therefore, require to have outstanding membrane property at aspects such as hear resistance, mechanical property, chemical stability, non-oxidizability, alkali resistances with the contacted upper protective layer of printing ink.As the material that is used in the upper protective layer aspect; except that the above-mentioned Ta film of mentioning, noble metal, high-melting-point transition metal, the alloy of these metals, nitride, boride, silicide or carbide, the non-crystalline silicon etc. of these metals in addition known in the prior art.
For example, described in Japanese patent application laid-open publication number No.2001-105596, upper protective layer is formed on the heating resistor via insulating barrier, wherein upper protective layer is by composition formula Ta αFe βNi γCr δThe amorphous alloy of expression make (wherein satisfy 10at.%≤α≤30at.%, alpha+beta〉80at.%, α<β, δ γ and alpha+beta+δ+γ=100at.%), and the contact surface of itself and printing ink comprises the oxide of component substances, has therefore proposed a kind of more reliable record head of long life that has.
Yet, in recent years, in higher-quality document image and the ink jet recording device such as more high performance increases in demand such as high-speed records, and, require the ink performance that strengthens in order to satisfy these demands.For example, in order to obtain that the high-quality document image has proposed the requirement of improved painted characteristic and weather resistance and in order to obtain the requirement that high-speed record has proposed to prevent bleeding (obscuring between the different colours printing ink).Therefore, made the trial of in printing ink, adding various compositions.About the kind of printing ink, except that black, yellow, magenta and cyan, to have developed by reducing the light color inks that concentration etc. obtains, this has brought the variation of printing ink.In some cases, a kind of like this phenomenon has appearred, that is, or even think traditionally can be stably as the Ta film of upper protective layer owing to the thermal chemical reaction with printing ink causes corrosion.Use therein to comprise such as divalent metal salt such as calcium and magnesium or constitute under the situation of printing ink of composition of chelate, can occur above-mentioned phenomenon more significantly.
In order further to quicken ink mist recording, require by than shorter in the past pulsed drive (that is, driving) by the driving frequency that increases.In described shorter pulsed drive, owing to the program that in the heat effect part of ink gun, repeats at short notice to heat, bubble, bubble and stop and cooling off, therefore to compare with traditional ink gun, this heat effect part stands bigger thermal stress at short notice.And printing ink will bubble and the cavitation shock of contraction concentrates on the upper protective layer because shorter pulsed drive will come from than the shorter in the past time, and therefore expectation exists in the upper protective layer that mechanical shock characteristic aspect is particularly splendid.
Though made various improvement; yet still found such problem; promptly; under the situation that has formed aforesaid upper protective layer with improved anti-ink corrosion performance; use certain printing ink can produce, thereby reduced discharging performance owing to fouling obviously is deposited on the product that causes on the heating part.
In addition, as the manufacture method of the substrate that is formed with above-mentioned upper protective layer that is used for ink-jet, use technology in many cases usually by dry etching.Yet in the situation that has formed the upper protective layer with improved anti-ink corrosion performance, although can keep high durability for a long time, indication becomes difficult by the technology of formations desired pattern such as etching etc.Fig. 8 A shows this situation to 8E.To as shown in the 8E, in the pattern of upper protective layer formed, it is etched that the normally used in many cases technology by dry etching can cause contacting the insulating protective layer of upper protective layer as Fig. 8 A.If as the etching selectivity that can guarantee fully in conventional substrate between insulating protective layer and the upper protective layer, but etching leaves the upper protective layer of insulating protective layer so.In fact, and upper protective layer between the over etching of boundary portion office can produce rank (among Fig. 8 E between A and the B).Since a kind of like this phenomenon, thus owing to causing the insulating protective layer of boundary portion office to become thinner, etching has than expecting the littler film thickness b of film thickness b, and this will cause the insufficient of its defencive function to apply.Therefore, must take etching gas into consideration and carry out the controlled condition that pattern forms afterwards according to an etching period acquisition etching upper protective layer for the etching speed of upper protective layer.Yet, found such problem, promptly; owing to upper protective layer may not etchedly stay; perhaps opposite, owing to cause the insulating protective layer can be etched owing to the inhomogeneities or the etching condition of device, thus the pattern that can not stably carry out upper protective layer forms.
Summary of the invention
An object of the present invention is to provide the ink gun with a kind of like this protective layer, described protective layer is outstanding aspect cavitation resistance and corrosion resistance, and has high durability, has the similar discharging performance of making to the Ta film of traditional protection layer simultaneously.
The ink gun that another object of the present invention provides a kind of substrate that is used to comprise a kind of like this ink gun of protective layer, comprise described substrate with and manufacture method; even used with the corresponding point of meticulous document image, with corresponding high-speed driving of high-speed record or various printing ink, described protective layer also has long service life.

The specific embodiment
Fig. 1 is illustrative partial cross section figure, shows the substrate that is used for the ink gun that the present invention is suitable for.
In Fig. 1, Reference numeral 101 expression silicon substrates, the heat accumulation layer that Reference numeral 102 expressions are made by heat oxide film.The interlayer film that Reference numeral 103 expressions are made by SiO film, SiN film etc.; interlayer film 103 also has the function of gathering heat; Reference numeral 104 expression thermoresistance layers; Reference numeral 105 expressions are as the protective layer of being made by SiO film, SiN film etc. by the metal wiring layer of making such as metallic alloy such as Al, Al-Si and Al-Cu as wiring, Reference numeral 106 expressions, and protective layer 106 is also as insulating barrier.Reference numeral 107 expression is located at the upper protective layer on the protective layer 106, the chemistry and the physical impact of the heating that is used to protect electrothermal conversioning element not come from heating resistor.In addition, Reference numeral 108 expression heat effect parts, in this heat effect part 108, the heat that produces in the heat-resistant element of thermoresistance layer 104 acts on the printing ink.
Heat effect in the ink gun partly be owing to the heat that produces in the heating resistor be exposed under the high temperature and come from mainly that printing ink bubbles or bubble after the cavitation shock of bubble shrinkage or the part of the chemical action of printing ink.Therefore, this heat effect partly has the upper protective layer 107 of the chemical action that is used to protect electrothermal conversioning element not to be subjected to this cavitation shock or printing ink.Upper protective layer 107 stands dry etching by chlorine etc. after applying the mask of predetermined image or the resist of predetermined pattern (resist) stands wet etching by hydrofluoric acid, boric acid, hydrochloric acid etc. afterwards so that form pattern applying.Afterwards, on upper protective layer 107, use flow path to form element 109 and formed injection component with the outlet 110 that is used to discharge printing ink.
Fig. 2 A has wherein formed flow path and outlet to the method that 2H shows the injection component that is used to form ink gun on the upper protective layer 107 that forms pattern.
As shown in Fig. 2 A, under 400 ℃ temperature conditions, will have the SiO of about 2 μ m thickness by the CVD method 2Film 502 is formed on the lower surface of the substrate that is used for ink gun 501 (comprise silicon substrate 101, heat accumulation layer 102, interlayer film 103 and stand thermoresistance layer 104, metal wiring layer 105, insulating protective layer 106 and the upper protective layer 107 that predetermined pattern forms respectively).Here, Reference numeral 507 is corresponding to heat effect part 108.
As shown in Fig. 2 B, resist is applied to this SiO 2On the film 502 so that in exposure and after developing by dry etching or wet etching formation opening 511.This SiO after forming through hole 513 after a while 2Film 502 will will form from opening 511 as mask and through hole 513.For example, under the situation of dry etching, use CF 4Carry out SiO as etching gas by reactive ion etching 2The etching of film 502, and under the situation of wet etching, use the hydrofluoric acid that contains buffer to carry out SiO 2The etching of film 502.
Next, as shown in Fig. 2 C, be formed on the upper surface side of substrate at PSG (phosphosilicate glass) film 503 that will have about 20 μ m thickness by the CVD method under 350 ℃ the temperature conditions.
Next, as shown in Fig. 2 D, psg film 503 is processed to form predetermined flow path pattern.Here, preferably use resist to process psg film, because this can not damage the SiO on the lower surface by dry etching 2Film 502.
Next, as shown in Fig. 2 E, the silicon nitride film 504 that will have about 5 μ m thickness by the CVD method under 400 ℃ temperature conditions is formed in the flow path pattern on the formed psg film 503.At this moment, also be filled silicon nitride film in the opening 502.
Here, because the film thickness of formed silicon nitride film defines the gap that the film thickness of the thickness of outlet and the previous psg film that forms defines ink flow path, thereby the printing ink that has influenced ink jet is significantly discharged characteristic, and determines the film thickness of silicon nitride film and psg film according to desired characteristic.
Next, as shown in Fig. 2 F, use the SiO that before has been shaped 2 Film 502 is formed on the silicon substrate 501 through hole 513 to be used as ink supply port as mask.Although can use any formation method of through hole, with CF 4With oxygen be preferred as ICP (inductively coupled plasma) engraving method of etching gas, this is because it can Power Groud damages substrate and can form at low temperatures.
Next, as shown in Fig. 2 G, use silicon nitride film 504 to form outlet 514 by dry etching as resist.Use aspect anisotropic etching outstanding reactive ion etching as this formation method.
Next, as shown in Fig. 2 H, use the hydrofluoric acid that contains buffer to remove from outlet 514 with psg film 503 elutions and with it.
Afterwards, thus be formed on the surface of outlet by the waterproofing agent film that plasma polymerization will comprise Si and printing ink supply element (not shown) is attached on the bottom side of silicon substrate 501 and finishes ink gun.
Except that aforesaid being used for forming the dry method of flow path and outlet on the substrate, also can use following wet method to make ink gun.
As shown in Fig. 2 A; by spin coating method resist is coated in as the soluble solids layer and is used for ink gun 501 substrate of (comprise silicon substrate 101, heat accumulation layer 102, interlayer film 103 and stand thermoresistance layer 104, metal wiring layer 105, insulating protective layer 106 and the upper protective layer 107 that predetermined pattern forms respectively), described resist will become at last and be the printing ink flow path.The resist of being made by PMIPK (poly-methyl isopropenyl ketone, polymethylisopropheyl ketone) is configured as the shape of printing ink flow path as negative resist and by the use photolithography techniques with it.Subsequently, form the coating resin layer so that form flow path or outlet.Before forming this coating resin layer, can carry out the processing of silane coupling connection as required and wait to improve adhesion.Forming under the situation of flow path pattern, be coated with rete and can be applied to the substrate that is used for ink gun by the coating process that can from known coating process, choose.Afterwards, by using anisotropic etch method, blasting method, anisortopicpiston engraving method etc. to form and 513 corresponding printing ink liquid supply ports from the rear side that is used for ink gun.More particularly, use the chemical anisotropic silicon engraving method of tetramethyl azanol (TMAH), NaOH, KOH etc. to can be used for forming the printing ink liquid supply port.Carry out subsequently by far ultraviolet and expose fully, carry out afterwards and develop and drying to remove the soluble solids layer.
In any technology, the heat effect of ink gun part all be since the heat that produces in the heating resistor be exposed to high temperature under and mainly come from printing ink foaming or foaming after the cavitation shock of bubble shrinkage or the part of the chemical action of printing ink.Therefore, heat effect partly has the chemistry of the heating that is used to protect electrothermal conversioning element not come from heating resistor and the upper protective layer 107 of physical impact.Requirement can have at outstanding membrane properties in aspect such as thermal resistance, mechanical property, chemical stability, non-oxidizability, alkali resistances with the contacted upper protective layer 107 of printing ink.According to the present invention, be formed with the amorphous alloy that constitutes by Ta and Cr (wherein the content of Ta is greater than the content of Cr).Amorphous alloy involved in the present invention is meant the alloy with the amorphous structure that demonstrates no peak value, the existence of particular crystal plane (perhaps if any, having extremely low peak value) and broad diffraction pattern case wherein has been shown in crystal structure analysis by the X-ray diffraction method.
Suppose that the content of Cr is expressed as y in the amorphous alloy, so preferably satisfy 0at.%<y≤30at.%, and, be more preferably and satisfy 0at.%<y≤25at.%.
From 50nm to 500nm, select the film thickness of this upper protective layer 107 in the scope of (preferably from 100nm to 300nm).
And the membrane stress of this upper protective layer has compression at least and preferably is not more than 1.0 * 10 10Dyn/cm 2
Under the situation that has formed above-mentioned upper protective layer 107 with improved corrosion resistance, because high corrosion resistance makes that its surface is difficult to damage, thereby be easy to produce product owing to fouling, this has reduced the printing ink velocity of discharge or feasible injection itself is unstable.Can infer; the reason that has produced less amount fouling product in traditional protection layer 107 in the employed Ta film is that the mode with balance has produced small corrosion and fouling product in the Ta film, thereby and the surface of Ta film because small corrosion and scraped off restriction fouling product and be deposited.
Yet, aforesaid, added the SUS composition with the upper protective layer 107 that improves corrosion resistance in, when increasing the Ta composition when suppressing the deposition of fouling product, can not improve durability.Presumable is that this is that this has reduced the Cr composition that is considered to help durability because the increase of Ta composition has caused the minimizing of SUS composition.
By adding upper protective layer 107 amorphizations that chemically stable Cr makes that the present invention was suitable for to traditional Ta layer; and obviously reduced the point that has grain boundary of the starting point that can become corrosion reaction, improved corrosion resistance thereby compare with traditional Ta layer.
And because upper protective layer 107 that the present invention was suitable for has the composition of high Ta content, so slightly microcorrosion is with the deposition of inhibition fouling product on the surface of upper protective layer, and this can keep the discharging performance with traditional Ta layer same degree.
Here, to 5D, the difference between Ta layer that tradition uses and the TaCr film involved in the present invention is described with reference to Fig. 5 A.
Fig. 5 A show upper protective layer 107 be under the situation about making by traditional Ta layer upper protective layer 107 and with the interfacial illustrative figure of printing ink.By driving heating resistor fouling product 301 is deposited in the heat effect part.In addition, make the Ta of upper protective layer 107 constitute oxide-film 302 by the heat that produces during driving.The film thickness of this oxide-film increases along with the increase of the quantity of driving pulse, and finally is completed into oxide-film along film thickness direction.As shown in Fig. 5 B, the part of this oxide-film 302 and fouling product 301 are separated with upper protective layer 107 together.Therefore can think that by this way, the deposition that has suppressed fouling product 301 is to keep discharging performance and to reduce the film thickness of upper protective layer 107.
On the contrary, as shown in Fig. 5 C, compare with the oxide-film of traditional Ta layer, in the upper protective layer 107 that the present invention was suitable for, with the interface of printing ink in oxide-film 302 be formed on the metal level 303 as thin as a wafer.As shown in Fig. 5 D, this oxide-film 302 and the fouling product 301 that is deposited are separated to suppress the deposition of fouling product 301 with upper protective layer 107 together, and this can keep discharging performance.At this moment, compare with the oxide-film of traditional Ta layer, because oxide-film 302 is formed as thin as a wafer, so reducing on the film thickness of upper protective layer 107 be little, therefore compares with traditional Ta layer, can think and improve durability.
Therefore, make upper protective layer 107 amorphizations by adding Ta that chemically stable Cr has proper content simultaneously, this can improve corrosion resistance and keep discharging performance simultaneously.
And, because upper protective layer 107 has the composition of high Ta content, therefore compare with traditional Ta can with make by chlorine upper protective layer etching speed reduce suppress lessly.Therefore reduced the etching quantity of insulating protective layer and can keep reliability.
Can use radio frequency (RF) power supply or dc power supply to make usually by the upper protective layer 107 of various film formation method manufacturing by magnetron sputtering system.
Fig. 3 shows total figure of the sputtering equipment that is used to form upper protective layer.
In Fig. 3, two types the target that Reference numeral 4001 expressions are made of Ta target and Cr target.Reference numeral 4002 expression flat targets, Reference numeral 4011 expressions are used to control the power supply that film formed flashboard on the substrate, Reference numeral 4003 expression substrate holder, Reference numeral 4004 expression substrates, Reference numeral 4006 expressions and target 4001 are connected with substrate holder 4003.In addition, in Fig. 3, the external heater that Reference numeral 4008 expressions provide in the mode that forms the periphery wall of chamber 4009 around film.External heater 4008 is used to regulate the environment temperature that film forms chamber 4009.The interior heater 4005 that is used to control underlayer temperature is arranged on the rear surface of substrate holder 4003.Both carry out the temperature control of substrate 4004 preferably to use interior heater 4005 and external heater 4008.
Carrying out the film that uses Fig. 3 equipment as described as follows forms.At first, using exhaust pump 4007 that air is formed the chamber 4009 from film is evacuated to up to 1 * 10 -5To 1 * 10 -6Pa.Next, via the mass flow controller (not shown) argon gas being incorporated into film from gas introducing hole 4010 forms in the chamber 4009.At this moment, regulate interior heater 4005 and external heater 4008 to obtain target substrate temperature and environment temperature.Then, power is provided to target 4001 from power supply 4006, and carries out sputter and discharge so that form film on substrate 4004 when regulating flashboard 4011.
According to the present invention, two types target, that is, Ta target and Cr target can be used for by wherein supply the synchronous sputtering method formation of the binary film of power from two power supplys that are connected in respective target.In this case, can control the power that is fed to respective target independently.Perhaps, prepare the multiple alloys target that its composition has been regulated in advance, and every kind of alloys target had the film of desired constituents with formation by the while sputter by sputter or two kinds of alloys target or more kinds of alloys target independently.
In addition, aforesaid, when forming upper protective layer 107, substrate is heated to up to 100 ℃ to 300 ℃ to realize strong film adhesiveness.In addition, form film, can realize strong film adhesiveness by the aforesaid sputtering method that can form particle with big kinetic energy.
By making membrane stress have compression at least, and it is made as 1.0 * 10 10Dyn/cm 2Or lower, can realize strong film adhesiveness equally.Be incorporated into the flow velocity of the argon gas in the film forming device, the power that puts on target or substrate heating temperature by setting in each case and can regulate this membrane stress.
No matter the protective layer 106 that is located at below the upper protective layer 107 is that the upper protective layer 107 that thick or thin, involved in the present invention amorphous alloy film is made preferably all is applicable.
