Abstract

Disclosed are an ink-jet recording head, in which the rigidity of the compartment wall is improved, pressure generating chambers can be arranged in a high density, and cross talk between the pressure generating chambers is reduced, and a manufacturing method of the same and an ink-jet recording apparatus. In an ink-jet recording head including a passage-forming substrate (10) having a silicon layer consisting of single crystal silicon, in which a pressure generating chamber (15) communicating with a nozzle orifice is defined; and a piezoelectric element (300) for generating a pressure change in the pressure generating chamber, the piezoelectric element being provided on a region facing the pressure generating chamber (15) via a vibration plate constituting a part of the pressure generating chamber (15), the pressure generating chamber (15) is formed so as to open to one surface of the passage-forming substrate (10) and not to penetrate therethrough, at least a bottom surface of inner surfaces of the pressure generating chamber (15), which is facing to the one surface, is constituted of an etching stop surface as a surface in which anisotropic etching stops, and the piezoelectric el…
