29. A method for fabricating a lithium battery comprising:
-
providing a substrate; coating said substrate with a cathodic current collector; placing said substrate with said cathodic current collector into a vacuum processing system; depositing a thin layer of cathode material onto said cathodic current collector in a first processing station of said vacuum processing system; transferring under vacuum said substrate with said cathode material to a second processing station within said vacuum processing system; depositing a thin film of a solid electrolyte material onto said cathode material in said second processing station of said vacuum processing system; transferring under vacuum said substrate with said solid electrolyte material to a third processing station within said vacuum processing system; depositing a thin layer of anode material onto said solid electrolyte material in said third processing station of said vacuum processing system; removing said substrate with said anode material from said vacuum processing system; depositing an anode onto said anode material; and depositing an anodic current collector onto said anode.
