Abstract

Abstract A solid electrolytic capacitor includes an anode, a dielectric layer, a solid electrolyte layer, and a cathode electrode. The solid electrolyte layer consists of a conductive polymer compound obtained by doping a dopant in one of a copolymer and a mixture of polypyrrole or a derivative thereof, the polypyrrole having a repetition unit represented by a formula wherein each of R 1 to R 3 represents an alkyl group or a hydrogen atom, and polyaniline or a derivative thereof, the polyaniline having a repetition unit represented by a formula wherein each of R 4 to R 7 represents an alkyl group or a hydrogen atom.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 148 words
A solid electrolytic capacitor, characterized by comprising: an anode (1) consisting of a valve metal and having a lead (11) extending therefrom; a dielectric layer (2) constituted by an oxide coating formed by oxidizing a surface of said anode; a solid electrolyte layer (3) formed on said dielectric layer; and a cathode electrode (6) formed on said solid electrolyte layer, wherein said solid electrolyte layer consists of a conductive polymer compound obtained by doping a dopant in one of a copolymer and a mixture of polypyrrole or a derivative thereof, the polypyrrole having a repetition unit represented by a formula wherein each of R 1 to R 3 represents an alkyl group or a hydrogen atom, and polyaniline or a derivative thereof, the polyaniline having a repetition unit represented by a formula wherein each of R 4 to R 7 represents an alkyl group or a hydrogen atom.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 148 words
A solid electrolytic capacitor, characterized by comprising: an anode (1) consisting of a valve metal and having a lead (11) extending therefrom; a dielectric layer (2) constituted by an oxide coating formed by oxidizing a surface of said anode; a solid electrolyte layer (3) formed on said dielectric layer; and a cathode electrode (6) formed on said solid electrolyte layer, wherein said solid electrolyte layer consists of a conductive polymer compound obtained by doping a dopant in one of a copolymer and a mixture of polypyrrole or a derivative thereof, the polypyrrole having a repetition unit represented by a formula wherein each of R 1 to R 3 represents an alkyl group or a hydrogen atom, and polyaniline or a derivative thereof, the polyaniline having a repetition unit represented by a formula wherein each of R 4 to R 7 represents an alkyl group or a hydrogen atom.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 48 words
A capacitor according to claim 1, wherein said solid electrolyte layer is constituted by a conductive polymer compound layer formed by a chemical oxidation and polymerization process, and said conductive polymer compound layer having a predetermined thickness is formed by repeatedly performing the chemical oxidation and polymerization process.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 41 words
A capacitor according to claim 1, wherein the anode having said dielectric layer formed on a surface thereof is dipped in a solution mixture of pyrrole and aniline and then dipped in an oxidant solution, thereby forming said solid electrolyte layer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 76 words
A capacitor according to claim 1, wherein, after said anode having said dielectric layer formed on a surface thereof is dipped in a solution mixture which is obtained by mixing a solution mixture of pyrrole and aniline with an oxidant solution and has a temperature kept lower than a temperature at which a polymerization reaction progresses, the polymerization reaction is caused to progress in an atmosphere at a predetermined temperature, thereby forming said solid electrolyte layer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 44 words
A capacitor according to claim 1, wherein said anode consists of a tantalum sintered body formed by sintering a tantalum powder, and said dielectric layer is constituted by a tantalum oxide coating formed on said tantalum sintered body by anodizing said tantalum sintered body.
