Episode How Chipmakers Are Using On-Chip Batteries for Energy Storage
Episode 89 explores how chipmakers are integrating tiny on-chip batteries directly into silicon to provide local energy storage for power-hungry applications like IoT sensors, medical implants, and edge AI devices. Lucas breaks down the technical challenge of building a battery on a chip — using solid-state electrolytes, thin-film deposition, and nanoscale electrodes — and why this could eliminate external power supplies for billions of devices. Luna questions the energy density trade-offs and lifespan concerns. The hosts look at a real prototype from imec and discuss what this means for wearable electronics and autonomous sensors. A deep dive into a quiet revolution in on-chip power that could reshape system design.
