Abstract:
A method of producing an ink jet head having a discharge port for discharging ink, an ink flow path communicated with said discharge port and an electrothermal converting member used as an energy generating means for discharging ink into said ink flow path, comprising the steps of:preparing a substrate provided with said electrothermal converting member and having a conducting portion on the surface of said substrate;forming a first masking layer for forming a pedestal portion of a valve of said ink jet head on said substrate surface;etching a portion of said first masking layer, said portion being a portion where the pedestal portion of said valve is formed;forming said pedestal portion by a metal CVD process and forming a conducting layer on said pedestal portion and first masking layer;forming a second masking layer on said conducting layer and etching a portion of said second masking layer, said portion being a portion where a movable member is formed; andremoving said first and second masking layers after forming said movable member on said conducting layer by a metal CVD process.
