The present invention provides various aspects for processing multiple types of substrates within cleanspace fabricators or for processing multiple or single types of substrates in multiple types of cleanspace environments particularly to form hardware based encryption devices and hardware based encryption equipped communication devices and multi-chip modules such as chiplets. In some embodiments, a collocated composite cleanspace fabricator may be capable of processing semiconductor devices into integrated circuits and then performing assembly operations to result in product in packaged form. Customized smart devices, smart phones and touchscreen devices may be fabricated in examples of a cleanspace fabricator. The assembly processing may include steps to form hardware based encryption.

A battery cell includes an electrode assembly including a first tab and a second tab located on two ends of the electrode assembly, respectively, in a first direction. The battery cell further includes a first electrode terminal and a second electrode terminal located on two sides of the electrode assembly, respectively, in the first direction, a first adapter configured to couple the first tab and the first electrode terminal, and a second adapter configured to couple the second tab and the second electrode terminal.
