US Patent 7106575 Solid electrolytic capacitor

A solid electrolytic capacitor has a capacitor element formed by successively forming a dielectric coating, a solid electrolyte layer and a cathode extraction layer on a surface of an anode body, and is characterized in that the capacitor element includes at least one of a polyhydroxy saturated hydrocarbon and phytic acid. With this, a solid electrolytic capacitor can be provided which allows restoring of thermal degradation of a dielectric coating to a practical level.
