Abstract
Thin-film solid state batteries architectures and methods of manufacture are provided. Architectures include solid-state batteries with one or more cathodes, electrolytes, anodes deposited onto a substrate. Architectures may be used for solid state lithium batteries. The various fabrication techniques may be used to create a solid state battery is millimeters thick or smaller. These thin-film batteries may be small, light, and have a high energy density.

A method to maximize energy density of a solid state battery comprising:
- depositing a plurality of first battery layers on a first side of a substrate;
- depositing a plurality of second battery layers on a second side of the substrate;
- connecting a first one of the first battery layers with a first one of the second battery layers;
- and
- connecting a second one of the first battery layers with a second one of the second battery layers.
