Solid electrolyte capacitor

(Amended) A solid electrolytic capacitor of unitary capacitor element structure comprising:

• a porous body of valve metal, parts of said porous body constituting a plurality of positive electrodes;
• a dielectric layer formed on a surface of said valve metal;
• a solid electrolyte layer formed on said dielectric layer;
• a plurality of negative electrodes formed on said solid electrolyte layer;
• and
• an insulating protective layer for protecting said positive electrodes, said dielectric layer, said solid electrolyte layer, and said negative electrodes,
• wherein said solid electrolytic capacitor has a plurality of bumps formed on said insulating protective layer, and connected to at least any of said positive electrodes and said negative electrodes.

(Amended) A solid electrolytic capacitor comprising:

• an positive electrode disposed on one surface of a porous sheet of valve metal having oxidized dielectric layer formed on a surface thereof as well as on surfaces of internal holes;
• a solid electrolyte layer and a negative electrode layer disposed on another surface of said porous sheet of valve metal;
• an insulating protective layer provided on an exterior surface of said positive electrode and said negative electrode;
• via holes provided in at least one of surfaces of said insulating protective layer, each of said via holes extending to one of said positive electrode and said negative electrode layer;
• conductors provided in said via holes, said conductors electrically connected to any of said electrodes individually but insulated from the other electrodes;
• and
• connecting bumps disposed on exposed surfaces of said conductors.
