Abstract
An ink supply port is opened in an Si substrate on which an ink discharge energy generating element is formed, by anisotropic etching, from a back surface opposite to a surface on which the ink discharge energy generating element is formed. When the anisotropic etching is effected, OSF (oxidation induced laminate defect) is remained on the back surface of the Si substrate with OSF density equal to or greater than 2×104 parts/cm2 and a length of OSF equal to or greater than 2 μm.
Claims4
A substrate for a liquid discharge head comprising an Si substrate, a liquid discharge energy generating element formed on said Si substrate and adapted to discharge liquid, a semiconductor element, and an opening formed to pass through said Si substrate by anisotropic etching and used for supplying the liquid around said liquid discharge energy generating element,
- wherein, in said Si substrate, a density of oxidation induced laminate defects existing on a surface of said Si substrate opposite to a surface on which said liquid discharge energy generating element is formed is equal to or greater than 2×104 parts/cm2 and a length of the oxidation induced laminate defects is equal to or greater than 2 μm.
