A method includes applying a mold chase to a fluid ejection die to at least partially define at least one cavity. The mold chase includes a feature to contact a fluid ejection portion of the fluid ejection die, and at least one structure separate from the feature to contact a first end portion adjacent a first end of the fluid ejection die. The method includes filling the at least one cavity with a mold compound to produce a molded carrier for the fluid ejection die.

Applying mold chase structure to end portion of fluid ejection die

A fluid ejection device includes a fluid ejection die including a first end portion positioned adjacent a first end of the fluid ejection die, and a fluid ejection portion positioned adjacent the first end portion. The fluid ejection die includes a contact pad positioned in the first end portion, and a fluid actuation device positioned in the fluid ejection portion. A carrier is attached to the fluid ejection die. The carrier includes a slot to provide fluid to the fluid actuation device. The slot extends longitudinally along the fluid ejection portion to a first slot end. A length from the first slot end to the first end of the fluid ejection die is less than 1.5 mm.
