Abstract

Solid electrolytic capacitors comprise a valve metal member having a dielectric film, with or without a conductive underlying layer, formed on the member, 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 which comprises the monomer, a support electrolyte, and at least one member selected from silicic acids and silicates with or without phenol compounds. By this, the life of the capacitor even under high temperature and high humidity conditions is significantly improved. Methods for fabricating such capacitors are also described.
