The fluid ejection microfluidic device, has a substrate; a buried cavity within the first substrate; a membrane formed by the first substrate and extending between the buried cavity and a first main surface of the substrate; and an access channel extending through the substrate, laterally and externally to the buried cavity and to the membrane and isolated with respect to the buried cavity. A sealed actuation structure extends over the first main surface of the substrate. A containment layer, of polymeric material, extends over the first main surface of the substrate and forms a fluid containment chamber accommodating the sealed actuation structure. A nozzle body of semiconductor material closes the fluid containment chamber at the top and is traversed by an ejection opening, forming, together with the fluid containment chamber and the access channel, a fluidic path.
