Abstract
A fluid ejection head for a fluid jet ejection device and a method for improving adhesion between a nozzle plate and a flow feature layer of the ejection head. The fluid ejection head includes a silicon substrate containing at least one array of fluid ejectors deposited thereon. At least one fluid supply via is etched through the silicon substrate adjacent to the at array of fluid ejectors. A flow feature layer is attached to the silicon substrate. The flow feature layer contains at fluid chambers and fluid flow channels corresponding the array of fluid ejectors for ejecting fluid provide fluid from the at least one fluid supply via to fluid chambers. At least a portion of the flow feature layer comprises an attachment surface having improved surface adhesion characteristics, and a nozzle plate containing nozzle holes is laminated to the flow feature layer to provide the fluid ejection head.
