Abstract

A micro-fluid ejection head assembly and methods for fabricating micro-fluid ejection heads using separately fabricated electrical components. The micro-fluid ejection head has at least one base substrate, at least one fluid ejector actuator substrate attached to the base substrate; and at least a first logic component substrate hermetically sealed to the base substrate. The fluid ejector actuator substrate and the first logic component substrate are in electrical communication with each other.

Claims (7)

1. A micro-fluid ejection head assembly comprising:

at least one base substrate for a micro-fluid ejection head;

at least one fluid ejector actuator substrate attached to the base substrate; and

at least a first logic component substrate hermetically sealed to the base substrate, wherein the fluid ejector actuator substrate and the first logic component substrate are in electrical communication with each other, wherein the base substrate comprises two or more fluid ejector actuator substrates attached thereto and a second logic component in electrical communication with two or more fluid ejector actuator substrates.

2. The micro-fluid ejection head assembly of claim 1 , wherein the base substrate has a thickness ranging from about 100 μm to about 800 μm.

3. The micro-fluid ejection head assembly of claim 1 , wherein the fluid actuator substrate has a thickness ranging from about 800 μm to about 30 μm.

4. The micro-fluid ejection head assembly of claim 1 , wherein the logic component substrate has a thickness ranging from about 800 μm to about 30 μm.
