Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the generation of local cracks, pinholes and the like due to roughness of the surface of a substrate by providing a glaze layer and a partial glaze layer sequentially on the surface of the ceramic substrate and then, laminating a heat generating resistance layer and a conductor layer thereon. CONSTITUTION:A glaze layer 6 is formed on the entire surface of a substrate 1 and a partial glaze layer 2 on the surface thereof. Then, a heat generating resistance 3 is formed thereon and conductors 4 and 5 on the surface thereof. The formation of the heat generating resistor 3 on the surface as continuous face enables the making of the heat generating resistor 3, the conductors 4 and 5 and a protective layer 7 as a continuous layer.

As shown in FIG. 1, in this Sleep-1M print head, a partial glaze layer 2 is formed as a thermal insulation layer on the surface of a ceramic substrate 10 such as alumina, and the substrate 1 including that surface is formed. A heating resistor layer 8 is provided on the surface, and a pair of current-carrying conductors 4 are provided across the top surface of the partial glaze layer 2.
.. The books that made up 6 are already well known. According to this configuration, when a voltage is applied between the conductors 4.5, a heat generating region 3A J- is formed between the conductors 4.5 and the heat generating resistor layer section, and the heat generated in this heat generating region 8A enables the desired printing.

According to such a configuration, it is common to form the heating resistor layer 8 on a portion of the substrate 1 other than the surface of the glaze layer 2. The average surface roughness of the ceramic used as a substrate is in the order of 0.2 to 0.8 μm, and even if it is polished to improve this, if the surface is made into a continuous H layer, It is extremely difficult to melt. [2] If the heating resistor layer 8 is formed on the surface of a discontinuous layer with fine irregularities or cracks remaining on the surface, this may become locally discontinuous or cause Binho V73E. May adversely affect properties. In addition, a protective layer such as an oxidation-resistant layer and an abrasion-resistant layer J-1x is sometimes applied to the surface of the furnace, but this protective layer VC-1 can have an adverse effect as a discontinuous layer, and in extreme cases.

According to the invention, a glaze layer 6 made of glass, for example lead borosilicate glass, is formed on the surface of a substrate 1, and a heat generating resistor layer 8 is formed on the surface. For the glass 1- constituting the glaze layer 6, it is preferable to use a glass having a softening temperature of 1FA9, which is different from the glass constituting the partial glaze layer 2 by an appropriate vC, for example, by about 200 to 400C.

That is, in order to manufacture a head having such a configuration (σ), first, the glaze layer 6 is formed over the entire surface of the substrate 1.

Make it. Since the softening temperature of this 2A glaze layer 6 is higher than that of the partial glaze layer 2, there is no fear that the glaze layer 6 will soften when the partial glaze layer 2 is fired. 8 resistors are formed on the surfaces of the glaze layer 6 and the partial gray layer 20. Furthermore, a conductor 4.5 is formed on the surface of the heating resistor 8. These are the same as in the conventional example 2. Furthermore, the second
In the figure, a protective layer 7 is shown and included.

The above description has been made regarding a thermal print head using a thin film (although the invention is not applicable to a thermal print head using a thin film instead, as long as ceramic is used for the +-a plate and L2). In addition, in the embodiment in Section 1, it was explained that the softening temperature rtt of the glaze layer 6 was much higher than that of the partial glaze layer 2, but due to manufacturing errors, the softening temperature of the glaze layer 2 could be slightly higher than that of the partial glaze layer 2. In addition, if the glaze layer 6 is fired later, the softening temperature may be reversed or the softening temperature may be the same as long as the glaze layer 6 is fired at the same time.
