A method for manufacturing a lithium-ion type battery including the steps of forming in a substrate a recess having lateral walls having a re-entrant profile; depositing, by successive non-conformal physical vapor depositions, a stack of the different layers forming a lithium-ion battery, this stack having a thickness smaller than the depth of the recess; depositing on the structure a filling layer filling the space remaining in the recess; and planarizing the structure to expose the upper surface of the stack.
