Patent ID: 7944060

Claim:
A connector used for a device package structure that is configured to include: a nozzle substrate which includes nozzle openings through which droplets are ejected; a passage forming substrate which is connected to a to face of the nozzle substrate to form ink passages; piezoelectric element having an upper electrode film; a vibration plate which is connected to a top face of the passage forming substrate and is displaced by drive of the piezoelectric element; a reservoir forming substrate which is connected to a to face of the vibration plate to form reservoirs and which has a slot having a tapered shape such that the diameter of the slot is decreased as the cross-section goes downward; driving circuit unit for driving the piezoelectric element, provided on the reservoir forming substrate; and a wiring pattern which are connected to the driving circuit unit, the connector being arranged in the slot and being positioned on the upper electrode film of the piezoelectric element that has been exposed to a bottom face of the slot, the connector comprising: a silicon base body formed in a cross-sectional convex shape by partially removing by anisotropic etching, the silicon base body having a surface formed with a silicon oxide film by thermal oxidation, the silicon base body having a projecting portion and an end portion; a first terminal electrode provided on a first face of the silicon base body; a second terminal electrode provided on a second face of the silicon base body; a connection wiring formed on an inclined-face between the first face and the second face, the connecting wiring electrically connecting between the first terminal electrode and the second terminal electrode; a first conductive projected portion provided on the first terminal electrode; and a second conductive projected portion provided on the second terminal electrode, wherein the first terminal electrode and the first conductive projected portion in the projecting portion are oriented toward the bottom face of the slot and are flip chip packaged on the upper electrode film of the piezoelectric element extended into the slot via the first conductive projected portion; and the second terminal electrode and the second conductive projected portion in the end portion are oriented toward the wiring pattern and are flip chip packaged on the wiring pattern via the second conductive projected portion.
