ABSTRACT:
A method of forming a fluid ejection device is disclosed. The steps of forming the fluid ejection device may include forming a heating element on a substrate. The steps for forming the fluid ejection device may further include depositing a buffer layer over the heating element, and depositing a layer of compressive alpha-tantalum on the buffer layer with lattice matching between the layer of compressive alpha-tantalum and the buffer layer.
