The sustained demand for “smart” and connected devices in the context of the development of the Internet-of-Things and an increased healthcare monitoring has induced a need for more miniaturized power sources. A complete integration of the power source in miniaturized devices comprising generally CMOS components and MEMS sensors or actuators is indeed an asset to optimize their compactness and security. All-solid-state thin-film lithium batteries are adapted solutions to this issue since they can be manufactured with small footprints by techniques commonly used in the microelectronics industry. These cells are manufactured through a bottom-up process, by using vacuum deposition techniques to place each material layer on the top of the previous one, to form at the end a monolithic component. Finally, at least ten different thin films are synthesized, hence forming at least as many solid−solid interfaces.
Design and synthesis of thin film electrode materials (mainly by sputtering) and inorganic ionic conductors for all-solid-state lithium or sodium microbatteries. Due to their particular specifications, manufacturing process and design, the selection of efficient active materials can be quite different from the one of common Li-ion batteries. Thus, specific electrode materials such as LxTiOS, FeS2, (Fe, Co, Ni)S, Li1+xMn2-xO4, Fe2(MoO4)3, CuO, Si1-xGex, Li alloys thin films have been recently developed for low-voltage, solder-reflow tolerant, 0 V tolerant Li(-ion) cells, thanks to a careful study of the influence of the sputtering conditions on the structural and chemical features of the films.
