A method of manufacturing a solid electrolytic capacitor, the solid electrolytic capacitor including a capacitor element, an anode terminal, and a cathode terminal, the capacitor element including an anode body, an anode lead implanted in the anode body, a dielectric layer formed on a surface of a conductive material constituting the anode body, an electrolyte layer formed on the dielectric layer, and a cathode layer formed on the electrolyte layer, the anode terminal being electrically connected to the anode lead through a pillow portion formed on a surface of the anode terminal, the cathode terminal being electrically connected to the cathode layer,
- the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) forming a first printed portion to become the pillow portion by repeatedly applying paste containing a conductive material and resin by performing printing several times on a predetermined place of the surface of the anode terminal;
- and
- (b) connecting the anode lead to a tip end part of the first printed portion.
