Miniaturization of electronic devices such as laboratory-on-chip or system-on-ship requires small power supply unit such as in micrometer size. Therefore all-solid-state microbatteries become important in those applications. This paper reports the studies and developments of thin film electrodes in the thickness of a few micrometers which were fabricated by a pulsed laser deposition technique. It has been demonstrated that the thin film electrodes not only have high power capacity but also fast charge/discharge rate. The electric properties and relationship between structure, deposition parameters and properties are also discussed in the paper.
