Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and/or techniques associated with a sandwich-parallel micro-battery are provided. In one example, a device comprises a first battery and a second battery. The first battery comprises a first surface and a second surface. The second surface is smaller than the first surface. The second battery comprises a third surface and a fourth surface. The fourth surface is smaller than the third surface. Furthermore, the fourth surface is mechanically coupled to the second surface of the first battery. The third surface of the second battery and the first surface of the first battery comprise a conductive contact that electrically couples the first battery and the second battery.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: bonding a first substrate associated with a paste material to a second substrate associated with a hydrogel material to form a first micro-battery comprises a first surface and a second surface, wherein the second surface is smaller than the first surface; bonding the second surface of the first micro-battery to a third surface of a second micro-battery, wherein the third surface is smaller than a fourth surface of the second micro-battery; bonding an adhesive layer to the first substrate; and forming an opening in the first substrate and the adhesive layer. 2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: bonding a conductive contact on the adhesive layer and over the opening; and dispensing the paste material onto the conductive contact. 3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: bonding a second adhesive layer to the second substrate; and forming a second opening in the second substrate and the second adhesive layer. 4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising: bonding a conductive contact on the second adhesive layer and over the second opening; and dispensing the hydrogel material onto the conductive contact. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bonding the second surface of the first micro-battery to the third surface of the second micro-battery facilitates improved performance for the first micro-battery and the second micro-battery.
