    摘要: A method of fabricating an electrochemical device, comprising: depositing device layers, including electrodes and corresponding current collectors, and an electrolyte layer, on a substrate; and directly patterning at least one of said device layers by a laser light pattern generated by a laser beam incident on a diffractive optical element, the laser light pattern directly patterning at least an entire device in a single laser shot. The laser direct patterning may include, among others: die patterning of thin film electrochemical devices after all active layers have been deposited; selective ablation of cathode/anode material from corresponding current collectors; and selective ablation of electrolyte material from current collectors, Furthermore, directly patterning of the electrochemical device may be by a shaped beam generated by a laser beam incident on a diffractive optical element, and the shaped beam may be moved across the working surface of the device.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a thin film battery may comprise: depositing a first stack of blanket layers on a substrate, the first stack comprising a cathode current collector, a cathode, an electrolyte, an anode and an anode current collector; laser die patterning the first stack to form one or more second stacks, each second stack forming the core of a separate thin film battery; blanket depositing an encapsulation layer over the one or more second stacks; laser patterning the encapsulation layer to open up contact areas to the anode current collectors on each of the one or more second stacks; blanket depositing a metal pad layer over the encapsulation layer and the contact areas; and laser patterning the metal pad layer to electrically isolate the anode current collectors of each of the one or more thin film batteries. For electrically non-conductive substrates, cathode contact areas are opened-up through the substrate.

    摘要: A solid state thin film battery may comprise: an adhesion promotion and intermixing barrier layer on a substrate, the layer comprising an electrically insulating material having a thickness in the range of 50 nm to 5,000 nm; a metal adhesion layer on the adhesion promotion and intermixing barrier layer; a current collector layer on the metal adhesion layer; a cathode layer on the current collector layer; an electrolyte layer on the cathode layer; and an anode layer on the electrolyte layer; wherein the device layers form a stack on the thin substrate; and wherein the adhesion promotion layer prevents cracking of the stack and delamination from the thin substrate of the stack during fabrication of the stack, including annealing of the cathode at a temperature in the range of 500° C. to 800° C., and/or intermixing of the current collector and cathode layers during annealing of the cathode layer.
