Abstract
The trend of power sources, in accordance with the shrinkage in the size of electronic devices, shifted from city line to regular batteries, and final goal may be miniature power sources. By preparing electrochemical cells with a thin-film architecture, extensive opportunities arise for their utilization in extremely diverse fields of technology, where small dimensions, high specific-energy ratings, reliable performance and long shelf lives are required. The use of thin film technology may offer the following main advantages: (i) thin films are well adapted for device design, (ii) the thinning of layers gives a lower resistance in the transverse direction in the case of poorly semiconducting materials, (iii) the formation of a thin layer of electrolyte allows us to use glassy materials even with a low ionic conductivity, (iv) some of the main difficulties in the behavior of the electrolyte-electrode interface can be avoided, (v) thin film batteries are manufactured by the same technique as currently used in the microelectronics industry, and (vi) the microbattery is constructed in almost any two-dimensional shape. The counterpart in the fabrication of microbatteries consists in many difficulties which are discussed in the following.
