The instant disclosure relates to a solid electrolytic capacitor with improved metallic anode and a method for manufacturing the same. The solid electrolytic capacitor includes a substrate layer, a conductive polymer layer and an electrode layer. The substrate layer has a cathode portion and an anode portion having a smaller thickness than the cathode portion. The conductive polymer layer is formed to cover the cathode portion of the substrate layer. The electrode layer is formed to cover the conductive polymer layer. Therefore, the instant solid electrolytic capacitor can be applied to a packing process, and welding success yield rate can be improved.
