Patent ID: 7215534

Claim:
A solid electrolytic capacitor comprising: an anodic oxide film formed on one of: (i) a first predetermined portion of a surface of a surface-roughened aluminum base body, and (ii) an entire surface, containing the first predetermined portion, of the aluminum base body; a solid electrolyte, comprising a conductive polymer film, formed at the first predetermined portion on the anodic oxide film; a cathode portion including a first metal plating layer formed on the conductive polymer film; an anode terminal portion including a second metal plating layer formed at a second predetermined portion other than the first predetermined portion of the surface of the aluminum base body; and third metal plating layers respectively formed on the first metal plating-layer and the second metal plating layer that are respectively formed at the cathode portion and the anode terminal portion; wherein the second predetermined portion comprises a surface of a vapor deposited film formed on the anodic oxide film, and the deposited film comprises an inorganic conductive deposition film.
