Embedded dry film battery module and method of manufacturing thereof

Abstract:

A system and method for providing a packaged electronics module having a dry film battery incorporated therein is disclosed. The packaged electronics module includes a first dielectric layer, at least one electronic component attached to or embedded in the first dielectric layer, a dry film battery formed on the first dielectric layer, and metal interconnects mechanically and electrically coupled to the at least one electronic component and the dry film battery to form electrical interconnections thereto. Electronic components in the form of a MEMS type sensor, semiconductor device and communications device may be included in the module along with the battery to provide a self-powered module capable of communicating with other like packaged electronics modules.
