Abstract
A solid electrolytic capacitor and method for making the capacitor are provided. The capacitor includes a porous anode body, an anode foil, a dielectric, a cathode, and anode and cathode terminations. The foil is disposed on a planar surface of the anode body, and both comprise a valve metal. Further, the dielectric overlies at least a portion of the anode body, and the dielectric is also formed within the anode body. The cathode overlies at least a portion of the dielectric that overlies the anode body and includes a solid electrolyte, where at least a portion of a lower surface of the foil is free of both the dielectric and the solid electrolyte. In addition, the anode termination is electrically connected to the portion of the lower surface of the foil that is free of both the dielectric and the solid electrolyte, and the cathode termination is electrically connected to the solid electrolyte.
