    Abstract: A battery assembly can be formed on a base layer provided on a temporary process substrate, with a thin film battery stack including an anode layer, a cathode layer, and an electrolyte layer between the anode and cathode layers. The thin film battery stack can be bonded to a transfer layer, and the process substrate can be removed for assembly into a battery system.

    Abstract: The formation of metal traces in the border areas of a touch sensor panel to provide improved reliability, better noise rejection, and lower manufacturing costs is disclosed. The metal traces can be coupled to rows on the touch sensor panel in an interleaved manner, so that any two successive rows can be coupled to metal traces in border areas on opposite sides of the touch sensor panel. In addition, by utilizing the full width available in the border areas in some embodiments, the metal traces can be formed from higher resistivity metal, which can reduce manufacturing costs and improve trace reliability. The wider traces can also provide better noise immunity from noise sources such as an LCD by providing a larger fixed-potential surface area and by more effectively coupling the drive lines to the fixed potential.

    Abstract: A method for improving the lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) film (such as films in thin film batteries) morphology includes using oxygen (O2) and argon (Ar) gases during sputtering deposition of the LiCoO2 film. This may allow for the manufacturing of thicker LiCoO2 films. Such a method may also significantly reduce or eliminate cracking and obvious columnar structures within the resulting LiCoO2 film layer. Sputtering using a mixture of O2 and Ar also may produce a LiCoO2 film layer that requires lower annealing temperatures to reach good utilization and has higher lithium diffusion rates.

    Abstract: A thin film battery has one or more current collectors with a substantially mesh configuration. The mesh current collector may include a network or web of thin strands of current collector material. The thin strands may overlap each other and/or may be arranged to define a plurality of individual cells within the mesh current collector. The strands of the mesh current collector may also be arranged to have a grid-like configuration. Additionally, in some configurations, the anode or cathode may fill the cells within the current collector layer to optimize the amount of active material within the battery.
