Abstract: A method for manufacturing a solid electrolytic capacitor having an electrically conductive polymer layer. In the method, a first electrically conductive polymer layer is formed by a dipping method so as to at least fill pores of a rough surface part of a valve metal substrate. The valve metal substrate with the first electrically conductive polymer layer formed thereon is disposed so as to be opposed to a discharge nozzle for discharging an application material. An electric field is then generated between the discharge nozzle and the valve metal substrate. The application material is then discharged from the discharge nozzle, and the discharged application material travels along lines of electric force toward the valve metal substrate so as to form a second electrically conductive polymer layer.
