6. Industrial development prospects
Microbatteries appear to be able to meet the demands of several applications. We can consider 3 categories:
backup power solutions;
RFID tag feeder ;
powering autonomous sensors.
6.1 Microbatteries as back-up power solutions
For many electronic components, such as Real Time Clocks (RTC) or Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), it is essential to have a power source built into the product to power a few basic functions in the event of failure of the main battery or its removal for replacement.
Around 1 billion real time clocks are sold every year. This component requires very low currents (of the order of a few...
