Abstract
Disclosed is a method of making an electrolytic capacitor including the steps of forming a cathode by depositing a homogeneous and densified conducting polymer on a dielectric layer of a valvular metal porous anode. The conducting polymer is formed of two layers by chemical oxidation polymerization. The first conductive polymer layer is formed in the pretreatment step using a solution excluding an organic acid-type dopant, the polymer is efficiently formed on the inner surface of the pores of the anode and the second conductive polymer layer is formed in the primary treatment step on the first conductive polymer layer, using a solution containing an organic acid-type dopant. The resultant capacitor obtains a high capacitance, a low impedance, and a high responsiveness at high frequencies.
