Description of the Invention (丨) The present invention relates to a side of a piezoelectric inkjet head Imported manufacturing method, in particular, a method for making ink cavity and nozzle of inkjet head by lithography development technology. The main operating principles of traditional inkjet printing technology are divided into two categories: thermal bubble inkjet printing technology and piezoelectric (piez〇electric) inkjet printing technology. Thermal bubble inkjet printing technology uses a heater to instantaneously vaporize the ink, which generates high-pressure bubbles to push the ink out of the nozzle. This type has been successfully commercialized by HP and CANON due to its low manufacturing cost, resulting in a very large world Of inkjet printers; however, due to its high temperature gasification operation principle, the selectivity of applicable inks (mainly water-based solvents) is low, so its application fields are limited. Piezoelectric inkjet printing technology uses a piezoelectric actuator to deform the applied voltage to produce a 'squeeze liquid' which generates high pressure and ejects the liquid. Compared with the thermal bubble inkjet printing technology, the piezoelectric inkjet printing technology has the following advantages: the ink of the piezoelectric inkjet printing technology does not cause chemical changes due to high temperature gasification, and affects the color quality; and Because it does not need to use repeated high thermal stress, it has excellent durability. Piezoelectric ceramics used in piezoelectric inkjet printing technology have fast response speeds, which can increase printing speed, while thermal bubble inkjet printing technology is limited by the speed of heat conduction. Piezo inkjet printing technology is easy to control the size of the droplets', which can improve the printing quality. Fig. 1A is a side structural view of a conventional piezoelectric inkjet head. The traditional inkjet head manufacturing process uses ceramic thick film processes such as doctor blade forming and screen printing to first individually manufacture the upper electrode layer 111, the lower electrode layer 121, the piezoelectric actuator sheet layer 112, and the ceramic layer 122 (Ceramic ) 3 ------------- ^ --- II ---- -Ί — j (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) This paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS ) A4 specifications (210 X 297 public love) 503182 6394twf.doc / 008 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. 5. Description of the invention (>) Piezoactuator (Actuator), ink chamber wall 103, It is aligned with ceramic green materials such as the ink chamber bottom film 104, etc., and then each layer of thick film green embryos is aligned according to a certain module order, and then adhered together to sinter the ceramic structure. For example, a piezoelectric inkjet head from EPSON. FIG. 1B is a top structural view of the conventional piezoelectric inkjet head. This figure illustrates a transparent top view of a conventional inkjet head, in which the ink chamber 107 stores the ink sucked from the ink inlet 105 to the ink chamber 107. The ink in the ink chamber 107 can be deformed by the piezoelectric actuated sheet. The ink is ejected from the ink outlet 106. In the above method, since all the element structures in the inkjet head manufacturing process are separately manufactured by the ceramic thick film manufacturing process, the alignment compression bonding is performed. Because the size of the inkjet head is relatively small, the required precision is very high, so this kind of alignment press-fit assembly is very difficult, which leads to an increase in the defective rate, and increases the process time and manufacturing cost. Moreover, the ceramic structure must be sintered after the alignment compression assembly is completed. Due to the complicated structure of the inkjet head, stress failure is often caused by uneven shrinkage of the ceramic during sintering, so the product yield is very low. In addition, the traditional ink inlets are located below the inkjet head, which results in an ink storage area under the inkjet head to provide the source of ink during inkjet. When the capillary of the ink inlet of the inkjet head cannot absorb the ink, the amount of residual ink is proportional to the size of the ink storage area. The larger the area, the more ink remains; and the distance between the nozzle and the ink outlet is The size of this area is also proportional. The larger the area, the easier the nozzle is blocked.

Description of the invention (>) The above method of using ceramic thick film pressure bonding and removing the above-mentioned steps of sintering the ceramic structure. In order to solve the problem of difficult assembly and stress damage caused by sintering, the product yield is improved, the manufacturing process is simplified, and the manufacturing cost is reduced. Another purpose is to provide a new design of the ink inlet position 'to replace the position of the traditional ink inlet. This can solve the problems of nozzle clogging and residual ink volume, and increase the life of the inkjet head. According to the above object of the present invention, a side inlet process of a piezoelectric inkjet head is proposed. First, a substrate is provided, and an opening penetrating the substrate is formed in the substrate. The material of the substrate includes a silicon wafer, a ceramic sheet, or a metal sheet. Next, a first photosensitive polymer film is formed on the substrate, and an ink cavity bottom film having a plurality of ink outlets is formed in the first photosensitive polymer film. Then, one or more photosensitive polymer films are sequentially formed on the bottom film of the ink chamber, and the ink chamber wall pattern and the ink inlet port pattern are defined, so as to form an ink with multiple ink chambers and multiple ink inlet ports. Cavity wall. Finally, the piezoelectric ceramic actuating sheet at the right electrode position is adhered to the top of the ink chamber wall to prepare an inkjet head. According to the method of the present invention, the inkjet head is formed by step forming, which can improve the yield of the finished product, increase the life of the inkjet head, reduce the process time and production cost. The advantages and advantages can be more clearly understood. The following is a detailed description of a preferred embodiment and the accompanying drawings.
