Abstract
A fluid ejection device is described. In an example, a device includes a substrate having a chamber formed thereon to Ncontain a fluid. A metal layer includes a resistor under the chamber having a surface thermally coupled to the chamber. At least one layer is deposited on the metal layer. A polysilicon layer is under the metal layer comprising a polysilicon structure under the resistor to change topography of the resistor such that the surface is uneven.
