Abstract:
1. A method for combining two thin-film electronic devices, the method comprising: providing a first thin-film electronic device, wherein the first thin-film electronic device is selected from the group consisting of: an electrochromic device, a fuel cell, and a solid state battery, the first thin-film electronic device being having a first length, a first height, a first depth, and a first connecting surface; providing a second thin-film electronic device, the second thin-film electronic device having a second length, a second height, a second depth, and a second connecting surface; providing a first thin-film conductive substrate with a first layer of deposited material on at least one side of the first thin-film conductive substrate; applying heat to cause reflow of the first layer of deposited material; positioning the first thin-film conductive substrate between the first thin-film electronic device and the second thin-film electronic device to form a first pre-press module, wherein the first pre-press module has a first pre-press module length and a first pre-press module width; and applying pressure to the first pre-press module to form a first combined device in which the first thin-film electronic device and the second thin-film electronic device are bonded together and electrically connected, wherein the application of pressure is orthogonal to plane formed by the first pre-press module length and the first pre-press module width.
