Abstract
An inkjet printhead that has a supporting substrate, a conductive layer deposited in a pattern on one side of the supporting substrate, an insulating layer deposited such that the conductive layer is between the insulating layer and the supporting substrate, an ink chamber supported on the supporting substrate such that the conductive layer is between the ink chambers and the supporting substrate, a nozzle in fluid communication with the ink chamber, a heater on the insulating layer configured to vaporize some ink in the ink chamber such that a droplet of ink is ejected through the nozzle, the heater having a resistive element extending between a pair of contacts and, at least one metallic via in each of the contacts respectively, the metallic vias extending through the insulating layer to establish and electrical connection between the conductive layer and the contacts. The insulating layer has a planar surface on which the heater is supported.
