Thin-film Solid-state Rechargeable Micro-batteries

Access Description
Access to capabilities for Material and Process evaluation of Thin Film Solid State rechargeable micro-batteries
Technical Offering
  • Use of a reference Thin film solid state Battery Architecture with dedicated set of masks (up to 200 mm substrates) and qualified performances to benchmark added value of new material and/or process
  • Protocols and dedicated Test Vehicle to evaluate and characterize packaging solutions active battery material and processes performances
  • Protocols and dedicated Test Vehicle to evaluate and characterize packaging solutions and thin film moisture barrier performances
  • Stacking of existing standalone thin film batteries
  • Raman characterisation methodology for thin layers and electrodes
Main Equipment
  • Sputtering PVD deposition tools (cluster type) allowing deposition with different targets sizes (from 2″ to 13″ diameter) allowing preliminary tests of new materials and qualification on more industrial materials
  • PECVD, ALD and spin coater tools for barrier materials and processes
  • Patterning processes and tools for actives battery layers: photolithography, laser
  • Assessment of electrical performances in button cell configurations
  • Ageing tools for barrier films
Typical applications
Commercialisation of electrical energy storage solutions to enable energy harvesters as an energy sources for IoT sensors, for example to overcome the intermittent nature of the harvesting source such as solar or vibrational energy.
Case Study
An SME or research team are developing new materials or new manufacturing processes for a smart battery but they need access to optimise this and benchmark with state of the art material in a reference architecture. EnABLES will provide access to the facilities required.
