Abstract
A method of manufacturing an ink jet printhead includes providing a substrate. A doped layer is deposited on the substrate and is etched to create an array of nozzles on the substrate with a nozzle chamber in communication with each nozzle. Planar monolithic deposition, lithographic and etching processes are used to form a cantilevered thermal bend actuator arranged to be displaceable, when activated, towards the nozzle to effect ink ejection, at least a free end of the actuator containing a stiffening member for inhibiting flexing of said end of the actuator as it bends.
