Abstract
The present invention relates to a battery having a trench structure which can increase an effective area per unit area, and a fabrication method therefor. The battery according to the present invention forms trenches on thin film elements including a substrate, thereby increasing a contact interface between a cathode and an electrolyte and between the electrolyte and an anode, and simultaneously increasing an amount of an electrode per unit area. As a result, the present invention provides a high performance battery that a current density and a total current storage density are increased, and a charging speed after discharge is improved. The trench structure of the present invention can adapt to a bulk battery as well as a thin film battery.
