    摘要: An integrated semiconductor heating assembly includes a semiconductor substrate, a chamber formed therein, and an exit port in fluid communication with the chamber, allowing fluid to exit the chamber in response to heating the chamber. The integrated heating assembly includes a first heating element adjacent the chamber, which can generate heat above a selected threshold and bias fluid in the chamber toward the exit port. A second heating element is positioned adjacent the exit port to generate heat above a selected threshold, facilitating movement of the fluid through the exit port away from the chamber. Addition of the second heating element reduces the amount of heat emitted per heating element and minimizes thickness of a heat absorption material toward an open end of the exit port. Since such material is expensive, this reduces the manufacturing cost and retail price of the assembly while improving efficiency and longevity thereof.

    摘要: A method includes forming a recess in a first surface of a substrate, the recess having a width, depth, and height selected to correspond to a width, depth, and height of a fluid chamber, forming a sacrificial material in the recess, forming a first heater element, forming a metal layer overlying the first heater element, and forming a nozzle opening in the metal layer to expose the sacrificial material. The method also includes forming a path from a second surface of the substrate to expose the sacrificial material and removing the sacrificial material from the recess to expose the chamber with the selected width, depth, and height, the chamber in fluid communication with the path, the nozzle opening, and a surrounding environment.

    摘要: A method that includes forming a chamber in a substrate, forming a silicon layer overlying the chamber, etching the silicon layer to remove selected regions and retain a selected portion overlying the chamber, the selected portion being at a location and having dimensions that correspond to a location and to dimensions of a nozzle, and forming a first metal layer adjacent to the selected portion. The method also includes forming a path in the substrate to expose the chamber concurrently with removing the selected portion of the silicon layer to expose the nozzle, the nozzle being in fluid communication with the path, the chamber, and a surrounding environment.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor material substrate, an opto-electric component formed on the substrate, and a first transparent layer formed on an upper surface of the substrate over the component, the layer having a planar upper surface with a cavity formed therein. The first transparent layer has a selected thickness and a first index of refraction. The semiconductor device further includes a lens having a second index of refraction, the lens being formed in the cavity and having a planar upper surface. An upper surface of the lens and the upper surface of the transparent layer may be coplanar, or alternatively, they may lie in separate planes. The semiconductor device may also include a second transparent layer formed over the first layer and lens, as a passivation layer. The first transparent layer may be silicon dioxide, while the lens may be a flowable dielectric.
