Abstract:
A process of manufacturing droplet jetting devices includes bonding together a nozzle wafer defining nozzles of the jetting devices, a membrane wafer carrying, on a membrane, actuators for generating pressure waves in a liquid in pressure chambers that are connected to the nozzles, and a distribution wafer forming a distribution layer that defines supply lines for supplying the liquid to the pressure chambers from a liquid reservoir formed on a side of the distribution layer opposite to the membrane wafer; and dicing the bonded wafers. The distribution layer has a thickness larger than the thickness of each of the other two wafers. A restrictor for controlling the inertance of the liquid supply line is formed through the distribution layer in a direction normal to the plane of that layer.

Claim (Index 8):
A droplet jetting device comprising:\n a nozzle layer defining a nozzle; a membrane layer carrying, on a membrane, an actuator for generating pressure waves in a liquid in a pressure chamber that is connected to the nozzle, and a distribution layer defining a supply line for supplying the liquid to the pressure chamber, from a liquid reservoir formed on a side of the distribution layer opposite to the membrane wafer, wherein the distribution layer and the nozzle layer are bonded to opposite sides of the membrane layer, wherein the distribution layer has a thickness larger than a thickness of each of the membrane layer and the nozzle layer, the thickness of the distribution layer is at least 200 \u03bcm, and the supply line includes a restrictor having a predetermined length and a predetermined cross-sectional area for defining a predetermined inertance, the restrictor being arranged to extend through the distribution layer in a thickness direction of the distribution layer.
