A nozzle of an ink jet printer is formed by initially providing a silicon wafer having a circuitry wafer layer including electrical circuitry necessary for the operation of the thermal actuators on demand. The actuator is formed by forming a first inert material layer defining an actuator path in the shape of a planar coil starting at the thermal actuator anchor. Then, a first conductive material layer is formed adjacent the actuator path and attached to the first inert material layer. |
