Other types of batteries can also be included.
Figure 3B shows a side view of an electrochemical device according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the first contact 301 is coupled with the adhesive layer 315. The adhesive layer 310 is coupled to the battery cell structure 315 and the first contact 301 extending beyond the adhesive layer 310. The flexible printed circuit board 305 is coupled with the adhesive layer 310. In the adhesive layer 310 is the first conductor 320. The first conductor 320, for example, produces a selective conductive adhesive layer. The selective conductive adhesive layer 310 allows conduction from the battery cell structure 315 through the adhesive layer 310 to a specific point on the flexible printed circuit board 305 and provides insulation between the first contact 301 and the flexible printed circuit board 305. The electrochemical device has a second conductor 321 which selectively generates electrical contact between the first contact 301 and the flexible printed circuit board 305. In this case, the flexible printed circuit board 305 must be selectively insulated between the points where the first conductor 320 and the second conductor 321 contact the flexible printed circuit board 305.
FIG. 3C is a top view of an example of an electrochemical device having a flexible printed circuit board 305, such as the example devices shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B. As shown in FIG. 3C, conductive traces 330 and 331 are formed on the surface of the circuit board 305. Other types of conductive surfaces, such as contact pads, wires, exposed conductive holes, or combinations of the above, can be formed on the surface of the circuit board to receive electrochemical devices. In plan view, the first conductor 320 exceeds the adhesive layer 310 to make an electrical contact with conductive traces 330, and the second conductor 321 exceeds the adhesive layer 310 to make an electrical contact with conductive traces 331. It can be understood that similar arrangements related to the semiconductor surface or the conductive or insulating packaging surface of the semiconductor device can also be used, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B above.
The flexible printed circuit board 305 may include, for example, multiple circuit board layers with and without traces, single or double-sided, semi-rigid, film, and/or polyimide.
The conductors 320 and 321 can be located in the adhesive layer 310 in various ways. For example, metal pads, metal wires, metal sheets, metal belts, multi-metal wires, multi-metal sheets, multi-metal belts, metal wire meshes, perforated metal sheets, perforated metals, metal coatings coated on the adhesive layer, Metal discs, metal-coated fiber glass, or a combination of the above can be used. In each example, the first conductor 320 can provide selective electrical conduction between the battery well structure 315 and the first contact 301 or the flexible printed circuit board 305, and between the battery well structure 315 and the first contact 301 or flexible Insulation between printed circuit boards 305. Furthermore, in each example, the second conductor 321 can provide selective electrical conduction between the first contact 305 and the flexible printed circuit board 301, and between the first contact 301 or the flexible printed circuit board 305 insulation. In some embodiments, the conductor 320 may be woven into the adhesive layer 310. The conductor 320 may be, for example, a disc embedded in the adhesive layer 310. In some embodiments, slits may be formed in the adhesive layer 310 to weave or place the conductor 320 in the adhesive layer 310. Similarly, holes or other methods can be used to place the conductor 320 in the adhesive layer 310.
The electrochemical device 315 may include a cathode, an anode, and an electrolyte. For example, the cathode may include lithium cobalt oxide, the anode may include lithium, and the electrolyte may include phosphorous lithium oxynitride. Other electrochemical devices can be used as needed.
The electrochemical device 315 can be coupled with the flexible printed circuit board 305 in various ways. In one embodiment, for example, glue can be used to couple the electrochemical device 315 and the flexible printed circuit board 305. The glue used in the present invention extends to any material to adhere the electrochemical device to the semiconductor surface or the conductive or insulating packaging surface 105 of the semiconductor device. Glue can produce mechanical or chemical bonding between the two layers. The glue can also chemically bond the two layers without introducing other materials or layers. The glue may be conductive so that the semiconductor surface or the conductive or insulating packaging surface 105 of the semiconductor device acts as a current controller. The glue, for example, may include, but is not limited to, conductive cement glue and resin glue. The glue can be conductive, semi-conductive, or insulating.
In another embodiment, the flexible printed circuit board 305 is used as the base material of the battery, and the battery is deposited on it.
The above exemplary embodiments may also include multiple electrochemical devices stacked on the semiconductor surface or the conductive or insulating (eg, package) surface of the semiconductor device.
This exemplary embodiment provides another way to encapsulate the chemical and mechanical sensitive layers of the electrochemical device, which is less expensive than the conventional encapsulation method using gold foil. The above exemplary embodiments also avoid the problem of rupture due to high temperature when metal and plastic capsules are used to encapsulate electrochemical devices in the conventional method. The high temperature causes the gas in the metal and plastic capsules to expand and/or compress.
The above exemplary embodiments also provide rechargeable secondary batteries that are directly fabricated on semiconductor devices such as integrated circuits. Such a battery can still provide power when the circuit is interrupted, and it can be charged quickly and easily when the power is restored. The above-mentioned battery can provide local energy for the main circuit. Exemplary embodiments also provide more cost-effective and more reliable packaging methods, as well as better ways to provide electrical conductive contacts, including packages that are substantially thinner than conventional packaging methods. Example embodiments also provide flexible integrated circuits and/or flexible printed circuit boards with thin-film flexible batteries coupled thereto.
Although the conductive material described in the above embodiment has openings, such as slits, in the adhesive layer; it is understood that the electrical connections between the battery cell structure 115, 315 and the first electrical contacts 101, 301 can be provided in various ways. Sexual contact. For example, the adhesive layer 110, 310 formed by inserting conductive powder into the adhesive material can provide electrical conduction between the battery cell structure 115, 315 and the first contact 101, 301. Conductive powder such as metal powder (eg, nickel powder) may be placed in one or more selected areas of the adhesion layer 110, 310, and between the contacts 101, 301 and the battery cell structure 115, 315. Those familiar with this technology should understand that other conductive materials can also provide selective conduction, such as conductive balls, metal slugs, wire meshes, etc., can be selectively provided in the adhesive layer. Two methods can be used to achieve electrical conduction between the battery cell structure 115, 315 and the first contact 101, 301 and to provide insulation between the electrical contact and the battery cell structure, and should not be limited to those described in the example Example.
The same principle can be applied to the electrical contact between the battery cell structure 115 and 315 and the semiconductor surface or the conductive or insulating packaging surface 105 of the semiconductor device or the flexible printed circuit board 305. The same principle can be applied to the electrical contact between the first electrical contacts 101 and 301 and the semiconductor surface or the conductive or insulating packaging surface 105 of the semiconductor device or the elastic printed circuit board 305.
In addition, it should be understood that the electrochemical device may include a discrete device (for example, a substrate and its own packaging for complete encapsulation) on a semiconductor device, a conductive or insulating surface of the semiconductor device, or a flexible printed circuit board. For example, before being integrated on a semiconductor surface or a conductive or insulating surface of a semiconductor device or on a flexible printed circuit board, the electrochemical device can be fabricated as a discrete device, and then assembled into a whole with a substrate and a package.
