Abstract: The present invention relates to solid electrolytic capacitors with low ESRs in the high frequency range and methods for manufacturing the same. The solid electrolytic capacitor induce a porous anode body made of a valve action metal and on the surface of which body a dielectric oxide layer is formed; and a chemically polymerized layer made of conductive polymers which are formed by chemical oxide polymerization on the dielectric oxide layer which are located on the surfaces inside pores of the porous anode body; and an electrolytic polymerized layer made of conductive polymers which are formed by electrolytic polymerization on the dielectric oxide layer which are located on the external surface of the porous anode body; wherein the dielectric oxide layer and the electrolytic polymerized layer are in contact with each other and the chemically polymerized layer and the electrolytic polymerized layer are electrically connected with each other near the contacting parts.

Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor is made of a first chemical polymer layer having an anode, a cathode, and a dielectric, the cathode being formed first on a surface of the dielectric, and a secondary electrolytic polymer layer formed on a surface of the primary chemical polymer layer by performing electrolytic polymerization in a predetermined solution. This solid electrolytic capacitor includes a secondary electrolytic polymer layer formed by performing electrolytic polymerization in a solution obtained by adding to the predetermined solution a supporting electrolyte having a surface active effect with respect to a solvent in the predetermined solution and a supporting electrolyte having no surface active effect with respect to the solvent in the predetermined solution.
