On chip micro-batteries: a giant leap towards miniaturization

Abstract

On chip batteries refer to miniaturized version of powerhouse embedded on a chip. This versatile powerhouse can efficiently deliver tiny medical device without being reliant on external sources. The fabrication process of such on-chip batteries is totally different from conventional batteries. Miniaturization as well as efficient delivery of prudent magnitude of potential are some real challenges. This communication briefly overviews on-chip batteries and their potential in future technologies—aided by a concise appraisal on fabrication.
