Abstract
A method of fabricating a layer of a thin film battery comprises providing a sputtering target and depositing the layer on a substrate using a physical vapor deposition process enhanced by a combination of plasma processes. The deposition process may include: (1) generation of a plasma between the target and the substrate; (2) sputtering the target; (3) supplying microwave energy to the plasma; and (4) applying radio frequency power to the substrate. A sputtering target for a thin film battery cathode layer has an average composition of LiMaNbZc, wherein 0.20>{b/(a+b)}>0 and the ratio of a to c is approximately equal to the stoichiometric ratio of a desired crystalline structure of the cathode layer, N is an alkaline earth element, M is selected from the group consisting of Co, Mn, Al, Ni and V, and Z is selected from the group consisting of (PO4), O, F and N.
