Abstract

A method of manufacturing a solid electrolytic capacitor includes the steps of forming a dielectric film on a surface of an anode element, forming a first conductive polymer layer on the dielectric film, impregnating the anode element having the first conductive polymer layer formed with an ion liquid, and forming a second conductive polymer layer on the first conductive polymer layer after impregnation with the ion liquid.

Claims (22)

1 . A method of manufacturing a solid electrolytic capacitor, comprising the steps of:

forming a dielectric film on a surface of an anode element;

forming a first conductive polymer layer on said dielectric film;

impregnating said anode element having said first conductive polymer layer formed with an ion liquid; and
