A novel method for production of and an apparatus for an encapsulated solid-state electrochemical device is disclosed. The present invention provides for electrical devices, such as, for example, thin-film batteries with sensitive chemistries that can survive environmental exposure while providing external electrical contact to the internal cell chemistry. The method of packaging of the present invention may include bonding one or more protective multi-layer laminates to the environmentally sensitive surfaces of an electronic device. The present invention may provide the advantage of avoiding entrapped air beneath the laminates.

Methods of and device for encapsulation and termination of electronic devices

Treatment systems and associated methods for exposing one or more articles to at least one treatment source are disclosed herein. In one embodiment the system includes a single treatment source. The treatment source and the article or articles being treated are positioned in separately evacuable chambers. In a method of using the first embodiment, the article or articles can be removed from a handling chamber while the treatment source remains in an evacuated environment within a source chamber. Multi-source treatment systems and associated methods are also disclosed herein. Each treatment source in the multi-source systems is positioned in a respective evacuable chamber completely isolated from the other sources which make up the overall system. An evacuable multi-source handling chamber is arranged for selective movement between the source chambers. The multi-source handling chamber is moved from source to source to accomplish exposure of one or more articles to each source while both the article and the sources remain in an evacuated environment.
