Abstract
Mechanical and/or structural devices are formed using electroplating techniques in conjunction with sacrificial materials that can also be formed using electroplated techniques. This can produce devices that are attached at only selected points to a substrate and/or structures having enclosed cavities on or above a working substrate. A particularly relevant use of such structure forming techniques is in the fabrication of an ink jet manifold and nozzle structure for use in an ink jet print head, particularly a MEMS-based ink jet print head.
