Abstract

There is provided an MEMS device in which a first substrate provided with a driving element and a second substrate protecting the driving element are bonded to each other with an adhesive, in which the driving element is formed inside the space surrounded by the adhesive between the first substrate and the second substrate, an open hole which communicates with the space and the outside of the adhesive is formed on the adhesive, and an end of the outside of the open hole is provided to be with an end of the first substrate and an end of the second substrate.

Claims (18)

1. An MEMS device comprising:

a first substrate provided with a driving element; and

a second substrate protecting the driving element are bonded to each other with an adhesive,

wherein the driving element is formed inside a space surrounded by the adhesive between the first substrate and the second substrate,

wherein an open hole which communicates with the space and an outside of the adhesive is formed in the adhesive, and

wherein an end of an outside of the open hole is provided to be with an end of the first substrate and an end of the second substrate.

2. The MEMS device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first substrate is configured with a main substrate and a stacked member which is stacked on the main substrate, and

wherein an end of the main substrate is provided to be with the end of the outside of the open hole.

3. The MEMS device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the first substrate includes an overlapping part overlapping with at least open hole in a stacking direction of the first substrate, the adhesive, and the second substrate, and

wherein an end of the overlapping part of the main substrate is provided to be with the end of the second substrate, and an end of a part deviated from the overlapping part of the main substrate is formed on the inside further than the end of the second substrate.

4. A liquid ejecting head comprising a structure of the MEMS device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the driving element is a piezoelectric element, the first substrate is a substrate including a pressure chamber forming substrate in which a pressure chamber is provided on a region corresponding to the piezoelectric element, and the open hole is an atmosphere open hole which opens a space to an atmosphere.

5. A liquid ejecting head comprising a structure of the MEMS device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the driving element is a piezoelectric element, the first substrate is a substrate including a pressure chamber forming substrate in which a pressure chamber is provided on a region corresponding to the piezoelectric element, and the open hole is an atmosphere open hole which opens a space to an atmosphere.

6. A liquid ejecting head comprising a structure of the MEMS device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the driving element is a piezoelectric element, the first substrate is a substrate including a pressure chamber forming substrate in which a pressure chamber is provided on a region corresponding to the piezoelectric element, and the open hole is an atmosphere open hole which opens a space to an atmosphere.
