Abstract

A method for fabricating thin-film ink-jet printheads includes a step (14) of electroforming individualized orifice plates (16) on a surface of a mandrel (6). After the orifice plates are formed, the mandrel is aligned with a wafer (24) to allow the orifice plates to be aligned with their corresponding printhead dies (26) concurrently. After that, polymeric adhesive (28) on the printheads dies is cured to allow the orifice plates to be adhered to the corresponding printhead dies. The mandrel is then separated (36) from the orifice plates. The printhead dies on the wafer is finally singulated (38) to produce individual thin-film ink-jet printheads.
