Patent ID: 7602600

Claim:
A tantalum capacitor comprising: a plurality of tantalum sintered bodies which are disposed at intervals and respectively have first surfaces that form a terminal surface; a plurality of electrode rods which respectively extend into the plurality of tantalum sintered bodies and project from the first surfaces of the tantalum sintered bodies; a plurality of layers composed of an oxide film layer, a functional polymer layer or a manganese layer, and a carbon layer which are sequentially laminated on surfaces of each of the plurality of tantalum sintered bodies excluding the first surfaces; a conductive layer which covers outside surfaces of the plurality of tantalum sintered bodies excluding the first surfaces; and an electrode plate having openings which are respectively formed at positions corresponding to the first surfaces of the plurality of tantalum sintered bodies so that the electrode rods are exposed through the openings, the electrode plate being connected to the conductive layer so as to spread across the first surfaces of the plurality of tantalum sintered bodies.
