Description

The heat vapor ink-jet print head of high heat transfer efficient and manufacture method thereof
The invention relates to heat vapor ink-jet print head, particularly about the heat vapor ink-jet print head of high heat transfer efficient, this printhead is made by the standard bipolar circuit technology of a few modifications, the device element of all printheads all is integrated on the same silicon chip, heating resistor is formed by the monocrystalline silicon island that the heat insulation medium wall of insulation separates, and the ink-jet capillary is by forming with a kind of single crystal silicon material.
Commercial heat vapor ink-jet print head adopts adhering technique that various prefabricated member block are combined usually.Adhering technique commonly used has chemistry, as apply adhesive between member block; Physics as applying DC voltage between member block.The used material of prefabricated elements comprises monocrystalline silicon piece, sheet glass, and plastic sheet, sheet metal etc., the processing method of prefabricated elements relates to semiconductor machining, glass etching, plastics hot pressing, and the physical chemistry of metal plating etc.
A typical example is the printhead that contains the nickel nozzle array, is bonded by the nickel sheet and the silicon chip that process respectively.The formation of nickel nozzle array was divided into for two steps.The first step is ready to prefabricated component, comprises nickel sheet that contains bar-shaped trough and the silicon chip that contains the heating resistor array.The nickel sheet that contains bar-shaped trough uses the method for electroless plating to form, and electroplating egative film is a stainless steel substrates that the photoetching adhesive tape is arranged, and nickel dam is earlier in the stainless steel district formation that exposes, along with the nickel dam thickening connects in flakes on the photoetching adhesive tape.For formation contains the silicon chip of heating resistor array, silicon chip is carried out thermal oxide form silicon dioxide layer on its surface, depositing electrically conductive resistance film on silicon dioxide layer then, and form the heating resistor array by photoetching corrosion.The method of second step with the anode combination pastes a nickel sheet that takes off from stainless steel substrates on the silicon chip that is formed with film heating resistor array, make each bar-shaped trough on the nickel sheet cover a heating resistor, thereby form capillary and the heating resistor array that matches one by one.
Another typical example is to form heat vapor ink-jet print head with plastics substituted metal nickel.The first step of making is ready to prefabricated film respectively earlier, comprises with the formation of thermoplastic mould pressing method containing the unit of plastic of massive parallel bar groove and form film heating resistor matrix on the silicon chip of thermal oxidation.Second step was attached to the unit of plastic thermocompression bonded on the silicon chip, and the heating resistor during stickup on the maintenance silicon chip is corresponding one by one with the bar-shaped trough on the unit of plastic, made each capillary of pasting back formation all contain a heating resistor.
There are many problems in this two methods of pasting combination manufacturing heat vapor ink-jet print head.The one, manufacturing technology class complexity, manufacture process is loaded down with trivial details numerous and disorderly, and manufacturing equipment is numerous in variety, and the production cost reduction is severely limited, thereby commercially available price is high for a long time.Two is that two slice, thin pieces bond together, and the alignment precision that can reach has certain limitation, and device size is difficult to further dwindle.The 3rd, various combination material coefficient of thermal expansion coefficient difference produces the crack easily in the junction, cause component failure.
In recent years, also have and be devoted to develop the single-chip integrated hot vapor ink-jet print head.One of them example is that the single-chip integrated hot vapor ink-jet print head is sprayed in the side, and the formation of its nozzle array is higher than 7 * 10 based on boron doping concentration 19/ cm 3Monocrystalline silicon be not subjected to the characteristic of ethylenediamine-catechol-water (EDP) solution corrosion basically.There is the stick district of many high boron-dopings in the silicon chip front that is used to make, and EDP solution is during from the silicon chip front etch, and corrosion can only be carried out at the silicon area of not boron-doping.When corroding not the boron-doping silicon area degree of depth when surpassing high boron-doping slab region thickness, the corrosion lateral magnification forms inverted trapezoidal strip groove to the bottom in high boron-doping stick district in bottom, stick district, and the four sides sidewall of groove is (110) crystal face.Since EDP solution to the corrosion rate of (111) crystal face far below corrosion rate to (100) and (110) crystal face, through enough corrosion for a long time, the groove that corrosion forms is no matter the mask graph of initial usefulness how, finally all is around the four sides cone that forms by (111) crystal face.After strip groove forms, with the dielectric seal erosion opening of thermal oxide and low temperature chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD), form the polysilicon heating resistor then on dielectric layer, metal line and Tunization layer are finished the device manufacturing.
The heat vapor ink-jet print head of the heat vapor ink-jet print head of this single chip architecture and above-mentioned two combining structures relatively has many progressive parts, and topmost progress has been a designs simplification, makes to become more simple semiconductor machining.But still have many problems, and mainly be that the heat delivery that heating resistor produces arrives ink barrel, make the efficient of ink heating vaporization, not to have improved, but reduced.In two chip architectures, the heat that heating resistor produces need only just enter ink through the passivation protection layer, makes ink heating vaporization.And in this single chip architecture, the heat that heating resistor produces will enter ink through the silicon rib of dielectric layer and high boron-doping.Dielectric thermal conductivity is low, and thermal resistance is big, and only some heat can enter the silicon rib by dielectric layer.The thermal conductivity height of silicon, thermal resistance is little, and the heat that flows into the silicon rib can vertically flow also can lateral flow, and cross-current is crossed the heat of silicon rib and then flows into the silicon wall lost.This shows, the heat that heating resistor produces some stopped lostly by dielectric layer, some scatters and disappears by silicon rib and the conduction of silicon wall again, and remaining part just can enter ink barrel, make ink heating vaporization, therefore the heat transference efficiency of this single chip architecture is not high.In addition, for forming ink barrel, stop up the slit between the silicon rib, the bottom of silicon rib is empty during obstruction, and blocked slit lower surface can not be the same smooth with silicon rib lower surface, and be likely uneven, its result must hinder flowing of ink, makes ink spray difficult control.Again secondly, after forming, high boron-dopped layer can not stand high-temperature process again, otherwise because the distribution again of impurity but doping content drop to and can not stop each to the corrosive liquid corrosion, this just gives, and on-off circuit and other support circuit of production control heating resistor brings difficulty on same silicon chip.
General purpose of the present invention proposes a kind of heat vapor ink-jet print head exactly, solves the problem that above-mentioned two chip architectures and single chip architecture heat vapor ink-jet print head exist.
One of characteristics of the present invention, be to propose a kind of heat vapor ink-jet print head, its heating resistor is formed by the monocrystalline silicon region that heat insulation medium wall separates, and realizes the homogeneity of heating resistor modulator material and resistor support material, eliminates the coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch problems of dissimilar materials.
Two of characteristics of the present invention, be to propose a kind of heat vapor ink-jet print head, the capillary of its direct ink is buried under the monocrystalline silicon region that forms heating resistor, and the lower surface that makes monocrystalline silicon region is the part of capillary wall, realizes that heating resistor contacts with the direct of ink to be heated.

Five of characteristics of the present invention are to propose a kind of heat vapor ink-jet print head, and it forms the micromachining technology of micro-structural and the bipolar integrated circuit manufacturing technology and the bipolar CMOS manufacturing technology of standard has higher compatibility.
In order to introduce the fine structure of heat vapor ink-jet print head provided by the invention in detail, manufacturing step, and structure-forming process, this paper is with 14 width of cloth figure.
Fig. 1 partly excises the stravismus schematic diagram for the heat vapor ink-jet print head that the present invention proposes.
Fig. 2 to Figure 14 represents that heat vapor ink-jet print head that the present invention proposes is in each main manufacturing step schematic cross section.
With reference to the accompanying drawings, the structure and the distinct configuration thereof of the heat vapor ink-jet print head that the present invention is proposed, manufacturing step and innovative technology thereof describe in detail.
The heat vapor ink-jet print head that the present invention proposes as shown in Figure 1.This heat vapor ink-jet print head comprises silicon substrate 101, silicon epitaxy layer 102, heat insulation dielectric layer 104, metal adhesion layer 105, metal level 106, nozzle 112, capillary 110, capillary sidewall 111, ink container 109, heating resistor 107, metal line 108, heat insulation medium wall 103.Nozzle 112 is arranged in two rows, and each nozzle vertically down passes through metal level 106, metal adhesion layer 105, and heat insulation dielectric layer 104 and silicon epitaxy layer 102 intersect vertically with capillary 110.Capillary 110 is buried under the silicon epitaxy layer 102, is arranged in parallel, and the one end is relative one by one with nozzle 112 logical, and the other end communicates with ink container 109, is separated by capillary sidewall 111 between the adjacent capillary.Ink flows into from the opening of ink container 109 bottoms, distributes through ink container 109 to enter each capillary 110.Insulated wall 103 is vertically passed through silicon epitaxy layer 102, is divided into some heat insulation monocrystalline silicon regions mutually, and each heating resistor 107 occupies a monocrystalline silicon region.Heating resistor 107 energising backs produce Joule heat, and this heat delivery to ink barrel heats ink.The horizontal direction of heat flows and is only limited to the scope of a monocrystalline silicon region, and interborough flowing stopped by insulated wall 103.The vertical path of up flowing of heat is stopped that by heat insulation dielectric layer 104 heat that can flow through is seldom.One monocrystalline silicon thin layer is arranged at the bottom of heating resistor, down is the ink in the capillary again, and heat down enters the circulation that ink is unique thermal resistance minimum, and most of heat enters ink thus.Ink heating back vaporization forms steam bubble, and steam bubble is grown up, and produces pressure, and the ink column that capillary is between steam bubble and the nozzle squeezes out nozzle.
The manufacturing of the heat vapor ink-jet print head that the present invention proposes is processed as the basis with porous silicon.Porous silicon is a kind of monocrystalline silicon that contains a large amount of micropores.When monocrystalline silicon carries out anodic oxidation in HF solution, the hole is provided for the microcell silico briquette, makes the microcell silico briquette be dissolved in HF solution, form branch shape hole, and the silico briquette that does not obtain the hole is not dissolved in HF solution, forms branch shape silicon silk, and the diameter of hole and silicon silk distributes from tens dusts to the hundreds of dust.The formation of porous silicon and the doping type of silicon and doping content are closely related, different doping types has different anodic oxidation voltage threshold values with doping content, if applied voltage is lower than specific voltage threshold, then anodic oxidation can not take place, or the anodic oxidation meeting that has taken place stops immediately, and porous silicon can not form or stop to form.According to forming the required anode voltage threshold value of porous silicon, to arrange by size, general rule is: n +<p +<p -<n -According to this rule, the anode voltage value that can apply by control makes the n of p-type or n-type silicon chip +-type district or p +-type district forms porous silicon.
Porous silicon has very large specific area, at high temperature carries out very soon with oxygen reaction, and reaction moment expand to whole porous silicon layer, thereby can under lower temperature, form thick oxidized porous silicon layer at short notice.But the thermal oxide porous silicon that forms under lower temperature is without the high temperature densification, and the ability of its solution corrosion of anti-HF is not as good as conventional thermal oxidation silicon.Make comparisons with regard to the buffered HF solution corrosion, the speed of corrosion thermal oxide porous silicon is approximately 100 times of speed of corrosion thermal oxidation silicon, or corrosion thermal oxide porous silicon is approximately 100 to the selectivity of thermal oxidation silicon.The oxidized porous silicon ratio is easier to corrosion, is that just porosity is far below unoxidized porous silicon because its structure still is loose structure.
Anisotropic etch solution corrosion silicon, thermal oxidation silicon commonly used is made diaphragm, and this is because these corrosive liquids are very low to the corrosion rate of thermal oxidation silicon.Such as, anisotropic etchant tetraethyl ammonium hydroxide [(C 2H 5) 4NOH] to low four orders of magnitude of corrosion of the corrosion rate of thermal oxidation silicon comparison silicon.In fact; the thermal oxide porous silicon also can be as the diaphragm of anisotropic etchant corrosion silicon; with regard to tetraethyl ammonium hydroxide; it to low two orders of magnitude of the corrosion of silicon, can protect the silicon face of its covering not to be subjected to the corrosion of tetraethyl ammonium hydroxide to corrupt speed ratio of thermal oxide porous silicon equally effectively.
