It is predicted that micro-SOFC systems have a 2-4 higher energy density than Li-ion batteries [1]. However, literature mainly focuses on the fabrication and characterization of thin films and membranes for micro-SOFC systems [2-12]; the entire system approach is not yet studied in detail. We will therefore discuss in this paper the entire approach from the fabrication of thin films and membranes up to the complete system, including fuel processing, thermal management and integration.SOFCpiles à combustible à oxyde solidesolid-oxide fuel cellsONEBATénergieenergycouches épaissestechnologie des couches épaissesthick-film technologyMEMSLTCCpackagingscellement hermétiquehermetic sealingtext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
