Abstract
An electrical or electronic device and a thin-film type battery are vertically integrated and interconnected for reducing the area occupied thereby, enabling a higher degree of device integration and simplifying their fabrication. An insulating layer is formed on the device, with vertical conductors extending respectively from a pair of terminals of the device through the insulating layer. Electrode conductors are formed on the insulating layer in contact with the respective vertical conductors and serve as the cathode and anode electrodes of a thin-film battery fabricated thereon.
