A thin film battery including components which are capable of reacting upon exposure to air and water vapor incorporates a packaging system which provides a barrier against the penetration of air and water vapor. The packaging system includes a protective sheath overlying and coating the battery components and can be comprised of an overlayer including metal, ceramic, a ceramic-metal combination, a parylene-metal combination, a parylene-ceramic combination or a parylene-metal-ceramic combination.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION This invention resides in a thin film battery including components which are capable of reacting upon exposure to air and water vapor.
The improvement comprises a protective sheath overlying and coating the battery components so that the sheath provides a barrier against the penetration of air and water vapor.
The protective sheath may be comprised of an overlayer including metal, ceramic, a ceramic-metal combination, a parylene-metal combination, a parylene-ceramic combination, or a parylene-metal-ceramic combination.
