$LiCoO_{2}$ thin films have received attention as cathodes of thin film microbatteries in these days. In this study, $LiCoO_{2}$ thin films are fabricated by a sol-gel spin coating method followed by a post-annealing process. The thermal decomposition behaviour of precursor is investigated by TG/DTA analysis. The change of crystallinity, microstructure and electrochemical properties of final films as the drying temperature changes are also studied by XRD, SEM and galvanostatic charge/discharge cycling test. The relationship between the discharge capacity and the drying temperature are intensively investigated in this work.
