Abstract

The present invention provides a solid electrolytic capacitor and a method producing the same, in which high reliability is realized and further in which the product yield is improved by suppressing the increase of ESR or the like. In the present invention, the electroconductive polymer layer includes first electroconductive polymer layer 3 and second electroconductive polymer layer 10 , in which first electroconductive polymer layer 3 covers the surface of dielectric polymer 2 , and the second electroconductive polymer layer is provided on a surface of first electroconductive polymer layer 3 covering the bottom surface and the side surfaces, and is provide with opening at least a part of the leading surface of first electroconductive polymer layer 3.

Claims (14)

1. A solid electrolytic capacitor, comprising:

a capacitor element, which is electrically connected to an external electrode terminal, comprising

an anode body comprising a valve action metal containing a polar layer which has a leading surface for leading an anode lead, a bottom surface opposed to the leading surface, and side surfaces next to the leading surface and the bottom surface,

a dielectric layer formed on a surface of the anode body,

an electroconductive polymer layer formed on a surface of the dielectric layer, and

a graphite layer and a silver paste layer sequentially formed on a surface of the electroconductive polymer layer; and

an outer package formed by covering a whole surface with an insulating material;

wherein

the electroconductive polymer layer comprises a first electroconductive polymer layer and a second electroconductive polymer layer;

the first electroconductive polymer layer covers the surface of the dielectric polymer; and

the second electroconductive polymer layer is provided on a surface of the first electroconductive polymer layer covering the bottom surface and the side surfaces, and is provided with opening at least a part of the leading surface of the first electroconductive polymer layer; and

the second electroconductive polymer layer is not disposed over the leading surface of the anode body.

2. The solid electrolytic capacitor according to claim 1 , comprising the first electroconductive polymer layer formed by chemical oxidative polymerization method or by electroconductive polymer suspension method, and the second electroconductive polymer layer formed by electroconductive polymer suspension method by which an electroconductive polymer layer with a higher density than that of the first electroconductive polymer layer can be obtained.

3. The solid electrolytic capacitor according to claim 1 , comprising an antioxidant layer between the second electroconductive polymer layer and the graphite layer and on at least a part of the leading surface on which the first electroconductive polymer layer is formed.
