Definitions

  • Figure 6 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the stack of Figure 5 after a further processing step to enable electrical connection
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic view (not to scale) of an example apparatus which may be used to carry out the laser direct write technique.
  • the structure 10 comprising the stack 12 on the substrate 14 is mounted on a translation stage 50 or similar device configured to provide movement of the structure in an XY plane parallel to the surface 14a of the substrate 14. The movement is orthogonal to the depth (thickness) of the stack 12.
  • a laser 52 is provided to generate a beam 54 of laser light, output as a sequence of ultrashort (ultrafast) pulses 56, by which is meant pulses with a duration in the femtosecond or picosecond regime.
  • the beam 54 is focussed by a focussing arrangement comprising one or more lens, mirrors or the like to a spot 60 which is directed onto the surface 12a of the stack 12.
  • the cut line or lines 70 can be arranged in any shape, and the cells 28 or other elements can be any desired size or shape, and need not all be the same size or shape. Note that the grid shown in Figure 3 is for illustrative purposes only to present an example of a possible cut line. In reality, the cut line 70 is not marked on the stack surface.
  • the motion should cause the spot to pass over every part of the cut line area at least once so that every part of the stack material under the cut line receives energy from the laser beam.
  • the movement of the spot is a scan path which is designed to uniformly cover the cut line area.
  • the scan path may be continuous or discontinuous. For example, a series of hatched scanning lines can be used to achieve a uniform depth of ablation.
  • the beam is scanned over a part of the cut line width in a first direction, and also in a second direction roughly orthogonal to the first direction. Then two more orthogonal directions are followed, oriented at an angle to the first pair of directions.
  • the laser ablation was carried out using a femtosecond solid-state laser operating at a wavelength of 343 nm.
  • the fluence was 856 mJ/cm, delivered at a pulse repetition rate of 185 Hz and a pulse duration of 130 fs with a scan speed of 500 mm/s.
  • the beam had a width (spot size) of 0.015 mm, and was scanned to cover a cut line of 500 pm width by following a scan path with a hatching pattern.
  • the lines of the hatching pattern were arranged in four sets of two overlaid angles, with a hatch pitch of 7 pm. Six passes of the scan path were performed.
  • successful cutting can be readily achieved for fluences around 865 mJ/crrr 2 , such as between 800 and 900 mJ/crrr 2 , or between 850 and 950 mJ/crrr 2 , or between 800 to 1000 mJ/crrr 2 , or between 700 to 1000 mJ/crrr 2 .
  • the scan (writing) speed may be chosen to be within the range, for example, of 1 to 10,000 mm/s.
  • the combination of a higher repetition rate and a faster scan speed may produce the same fluence as a lower repetition rate and a slower scan speed. While the scan speed may be very fast, speeds in the lower part of this range can be suitable which may simplify the apparatus.
  • the total thickness of the thin film stack, perpendicular to the substrate surface and measured from that surface may be in the range of about 1 to 200 pm, 1.5 to 200 pm, 1 to 170 pm, 1.5 to 170 pm, 1 to 150 pm, 1.5 to 150 pm, 150 pm or less, 170 pm or less, or 200 pm or less, for example.
  • Typical stack thicknesses may be around 10 pm, such as between 10 and 20 pm, 10 and 40 pm, 8 and 12 pm or between 5 and 15 pm or between 2 and 20 pm, for example.
  • the positive electrode current collector material selected from the group consisting of Pt, Ni, Mo, Al, Au, stainless steel, indium doped tin oxide (ITO) and other electrically conducting metal oxides.
  • the positive electrode active material of a battery of the present invention is selected from the group consisting of UC0O 2 , FeS 2 , UC0PO 4 , LiFePCU, Li 2 FeS 2 , Li 2 FeSi0 4 , LiMn 2 0 4 , LiMnPCU, LiNiP0 4 , UV 3 0 8 , LiV 6 0 13 , LiV0P0 4 , LiV0P0 4 F, Li 3 V 2 (P0 4 ) 3 , Mn0 2 , MoS 3 , S, TiS 2 , TiS 3 , V 2 Os, / d q , LiNio . 5Mni . 50 4, and LiMnNiCoAI0 2 .
  • the electrode is a lithium intercalation electrode.
  • intercalation refers to the reversible inclusion or insertion of a molecule or ion into compounds with layered structures. Therefore, a lithium intercalation electrode may be an electrode in which lithium ions may be reversibly included or inserted into a layered structure, e.g. graphite.
