The step of forming an electrode for external connection applies a
conductive resin (10) to one end portion of each of a plurality of ink
chambers (26) within each of the ink chambers (26) and to the top surface
of each of a plurality of protrusions over a piezoelectric substrate (60)
in one line perpendicular to the direction in which the ink chambers (26)
extend. Subsequently, the conductive resin (10) located on the top
surface of each of the plurality of ink chamber partitions is removed by
polishing or grinding. As a result, the conductive resin (10) filling a
space within each ink chamber (26) constitutes an electrode for external
connection. This allows the capacitance due to the piezoelectric
substrate to be decreased. Further, the driving frequency of the ink jet
head can be increased. Thus, an ink jet head and its manufacturing method
can be provided with a reduced power consumption, with an increased
productivity and reliability and that allows a high speed printing.
