A method of manufacturing a printhead chip comprising the steps of first forming a resistive layer and a conductive layer over a substrate, wherein the resistive layer and the conductive layer act as a heater and a conductive line respectively. Thereafter, at least one insulating layer is deposited over the conductive layer and the resistive layer. Next, at least one metallic layer is deposited over the insulating layer without performing any intermediate photolithographic or etching operations, and then the metallic layer is patterned to form a contact opening. The contact opening passes through the metallic layer and the insulating layer while exposing a portion of the conductive layer. Subsequently, a metal plug is formed in the contact opening so that the metallic layer and the conductive layer are connected, thereby forming an electric circuit. Finally, a thick film is formed over the metallic layer acting as an ink channel for the printhead.
