Abstract

The present invention provides an electrolytic capacitor having a large capacitance sufficiently close to its design capacitance, and a method of easily producing such an electrolytic capacitor. In this method, a cathode-side conductive polymer layer or a electrolyzing electrode is formed on at least one side surface of an anode valve metal foil having through holes 20 and a coarsened surface, electrolysis is carried out in a conductive monomer solution, with the polymer layer used as the anode, and an electrolytically-formed conductive polymer layer is formed on the surface of the dielectric oxide film of the valve metal foil, thereby obtaining an electrolytic capacitor. As a result, it is possible to easily obtain an electrolytic capacitor having a large capacitance sufficiently close to its design capacitance.
