Solid electrolytic capacitor and method for manufacturing solid electrolytic capacitor comprising a block layer formed using a conductive polymer heterogeneously doped with a polymer dopant

Abstract

A solid electrolytic capacitor according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: an anode body made of a valve metal; a dielectric layer formed on the anode body; and a solid electrolyte layer formed on the dielectric layer. The solid electrolyte layer includes: a first conductive polymer layer formed on the dielectric layer and heterogeneously doped with a monomolecular dopant; a block layer formed on the first conductive polymer layer; and a second conductive polymer layer formed on the block layer and composed of a self-doped-type conductive polymer containing a plurality of side chains containing a functional group that can be doped. The block layer blocks a migration of the self-doped-type conductive polymer from the second conductive polymer layer into the first conductive polymer layer and/or a migration of the self-doped-type conductive polymer from the second conductive polymer layer into pores of the porous anode body.
