Abstract
In an ink-jet printhead and a method for manufacturing the same, the ink-jet printhead includes a substrate, an ink chamber to be filled with ink formed on a front surface of the substrate, a manifold for supplying ink to the ink chamber formed on a rear surface of the substrate, and an ink passage in flow communication with the ink chamber and the manifold formed parallel to the front surface of the substrate; a nozzle plate including a plurality of passivation layers formed of an insulating material on the front surface of the substrate, a heat dissipating layer formed of a metallic material, and a nozzle in flow communication with the ink chamber; and a heater and a conductor, the heater being positioned on the ink chamber and heating ink in the ink chamber, and the conductor for applying a current to the heater.
