## Abstract

An apparatus for manufacturing an all-solid-state battery includes: a mold unit which includes a first hole extending vertically so as to have a shape and a width identical with a shape and a width of the all-solid-state battery, and a second hole extending horizontally so as to horizontally communicate with the first hole; a first pressing unit which includes a first protrusion member corresponding to the first hole, which is coupled with an upper part of the mold unit, and which presses downwards raw materials of the all-solid-state battery filling the first hole, and a second pressing unit which includes a second protrusion member corresponding to the first hole, which is coupled with a lower part of the mold unit, and which presses upwards the raw materials of the all-solid-state battery filling the first hole.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An apparatus for manufacturing an all-solid-state battery, comprising:
a mold unit which includes:
a first hole extending vertically so as to have a shape and a width identical with those of the all-solid-state battery; and
a second hole extending horizontally so as to horizontally communicate with the first hole;
a first pressing unit which includes a first protrusion member corresponding to the first hole, the first protrusion member coupled with an upper part of the mold unit and configured to press downwards raw materials of the all-solid-state battery filling the first hole; and
a second pressing unit which includes a second protrusion member corresponding to the first hole, the second protrusion coupled with a lower part of the mold unit and configured to press upwards the raw materials of the all-solid-state battery filling the first hole,
wherein the first pressing unit and the second pressing unit include an electroconductive material,
wherein the mold unit further includes an electric insulation member, positioned to surround a side of the first hole parallel to a direction in which the first hole extends, excluded from a portion comprising the second hole,
wherein the mold unit further includes an electric insulation member positioned to surround a side of the second hole parallel to a direction in which the second hole extends.
