Manufacturing method of solid electrolytic capacitor

Abstract

A dielectric film formed on a porous valve metal body is contacted with an oxidizing agent and dried. Then, by contacting the dielectric film with a monomer solution for forming an electrolyte layer of electroconductive polymer, a electrolyte layer of a solid electrolytic capacitor is formed by an oxidative polymerization reaction. An oxidative polymerization retarding agent, which delays the oxidative polymerization reaction, is added to at least one of the solutions, an oxidant solution and a monomer solution. The oxidative polymerization retarding agent delays the oxidative polymerization reaction when it contacts with the oxidant and monomer. As a result, the permeation of the monomer for forming an electroconductive polymer layer into small pores increases, and the covering rate of the electroconductive polymer in small pores increases, which improves the capacitance appearance factor and the equivalent series resistance in high frequency region.
