Abstract
An electrolytic capacitor that includes an anode body formed from a powder comprising electrically conductive ceramic particles and a non-metallic element in an amount of about 100 parts per million or more is provided in one embodiment of the invention. The non-metallic element has a ground state electron configuration that includes five valence electrons at an energy level of three or more. Examples of such elements include, for instance, phosphorous, arsenic, antimony, and so forth. The capacitor also comprises a dielectric layer overlying the anode body and an electrolyte layer overlying the dielectric layer.
