A laminate type battery comprises a substrate, a power generating element
which has at least one single cell made by a positive electrode layer, an
electrolyte layer and a negative electrode layer which are sandwiched by
collecting layers from both sides thereof, and an electric circuit
portion having electrode terminals which connect the collecting layers to
an external device and circuitries which connect the collecting layers
and the electrode terminals. In the battery, the power generating element
and the electric circuit portion are formed by stacking a plurality of
layers on the substrate, and each of the layers is configured such that
the power generating element and the electric circuit portion are formed
by stacking the layers.
