1. A method of forming a biocompatible energization element, the method comprising:
- receiving a first substrate film of a first insulating material;
cutting a cavity in the first substrate film to form a cathode spacer layer, wherein an edge of the cavity defines a sidewall of the cavity;
receiving an anode film;
adhering a first surface of the cathode spacer layer to a first surface of the anode film;
depositing a separator into the biocompatible energization element through the cavity in the cathode spacer layer, wherein a material deposited as the separator comprises a polymerizable material;
receiving a cathode pellet; and
placing the cathode pellet into the cavity in the cathode spacer layer, wherein the sidewall of the cavity in the cathode spacer layer and a surface of the separator contain the cathode pellet.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus to form biocompatible energization elements are described. In some examples, the methods and apparatus to form the biocompatible energization elements involve forming pellets comprising active cathode chemistry. The active elements of the cathode and anode are sealed with a biocompatible material. In some examples, a field of use for the methods and apparatus may include any biocompatible device or product that requires energization elements.
