Abstract
The fabrication of a LiCoO2 film for an all-solid-state thin film microbattery by using a rapid-thermal-annealing (RTA) process was discussed. The LiCoO2 films were grown by rf magnetron sputtering using a synthesized LiCoO2 target in a [O2/(Ar+O 2] ratio of 10%. The results show that surface layer on the as-deposited LiCoO2 film was completely removed by rapid thermal annealing process in oxygen ambient 20 min. It was also observed that the thin film microbattery fabricated with the annealed LiCoO2 film shows fairly stable cyclability with a specific discharge capacity of 56.49 μAh/cm2 μm.
