According to the present invention, techniques related to energy devices are provided. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention relate to methods to design, manufacture, and structure a multi-component energy device having a unified structure. The individual components can include electrochemical cells, photovoltaic cells, fuel-cells, capacitors, ultracapacitors, thermoelectric, piezoelectric, microelectromechanical turbines, or energy scavengers. The methods and systems described herein are also applicable to a variety of energy systems.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for manufacturing an integrated battery and device structure is provided. The method includes providing two or more electrochemical cells integrated with each other. The two or more electrochemical cells include related two or more electrochemistries. The method also includes forming one or more devices integrally with the two or more electrochemical cells to form the integrated battery and device structure.
Numerous benefits are achieved by way of the present invention over conventional techniques. For example, electrochemical cells described herein present multiple chemistries to accommodate a wider range of voltage and current compared to individual ones. Additionally, energy-scavenging elements are utilized to collect energy and replenish it to other components within the unified structure. Depending upon the embodiment, one or more of these benefits may be achieved. These and other benefits will be described in more detail throughout the present specification and more particularly below.
These and other objects and features of the present invention and the manner of obtaining them will become apparent to those skilled in the art, and the invention itself will be best understood by reference to the following detailed description read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

A Unified structure including a silicon (Si) solar cell and a thin film battery and their manufacturing method.
Preparing a stacked cell on the back surface of a silicon (Si) solar cell as shown in
After the back metal contact is created, a separation layer of electrically insulating and thermally conductive aluminum nitride (AlN), having a thickness of 3-5 μm, is fabricated onto the aluminum layer using PVD. This layer has the function of removing heat from the two elements and convey it to a heat sink.
After the cooling element is completed, the battery components are deposited sequentially and conformally by a physical vapor deposition (PVD)process: an aluminum (Al) current collector layer (1-3 μm thick), a lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4) cathode layer (3-5 μm thick), a lithium phosphorous oxynitride (LIPON) ceramic electrolyte layer (1-3 μm thick), a lithium (Li) metal anode layer (3-5 μm thick) and a copper (Cu) current collector layer (1-3 μm thick), respectively.”
