Abstract: An apparatus for formation of element(s) of an electrochemical cell using a complete process. The apparatus includes a first work piece configured to a transfer device, a source of material in fluid form, a reaction region operably coupled to the source of material and a second work piece configured within a vicinity of the reaction region. The apparatus also has an energy source configured to the reaction region to subject a portion of the material to energy to substantially evaporate the portion of the material within a time period and cause deposition of a gaseous species derived from the evaporated material onto a surface region of the second work piece to form a thickness of material for a component of the solid state electrochemical device and a vacuum chamber to maintain at least the first and second work pieces, the reaction region, and the material within a vacuum environment.

Abstract: A monolithically integrated thin-film solid-state lithium battery device to supply energy to a mobile communication device. The battery device comprises multiple layers ranging from greater than 100 layers to less than 20,000 layers of lithium electrochemical cells. The lithium electrochemical cells are connected in parallel or in series to conform to a spatial volume. The device is substantially free from a substrate member. The overlying multiple layers are free from any intermediary substrate member. The multiple layers are configured to form a plurality of electrochemical cells configured in a parallel arrangement or a serial arrangement using either a self terminated or post terminated connector configuration.

Abstract: A thin film solid state battery configured with barrier regions formed on a flexible substrate member and method. The method includes forming a bottom thin film barrier material overlying and directly contacting a surface region of a substrate. A first current collector region can be formed overlying the bottom barrier material and forming a first cathode material overlying the first current collector region. A first electrolyte can be formed overlying the first cathode material, and a second current collector region can be formed overlying the first anode material. The method also includes forming an intermediary thin film barrier material overlying the second current collector region and forming a top thin film barrier material overlying the second electrochemical cell. The solid state battery can comprise the elements described in the method of fabrication.
