Abstract

Solid electrolytic capacitors comprise a valve metal member having a dielectric oxide film and a conductive underlying layer formed on the member in this order, and a conductive polymer film formed on the layer. The conductive polymer film is formed by electrolytic polymerization of a polymerizable monomer contained in a system containing the monomer and a support electrolyte consisting of a compound having at least one nitro group. By this, high temperature stability of the capacitor is significantly improved. Alternatively, the electrolytic polymerization may be effected in a system which comprises a monomer, a support electrolyte and a phenol or phenoxide derivative having at least one nitro group. Methods for fabricating such capacitors are also described.
