Abstract:
An improved solid electrolytic capacitor and method of forming a solid electrolytic capacitor is described. The method includes forming an anode comprising a valve metal or conductive oxide of a valve metal wherein an anode lead extension protrudes from the anode. A dielectric is formed on the anode and a cathode layer is formed on the dielectric. The anode, dielectric, and cathode layer are encased in a non-conducting material and the anode lead extension is exposed outside of the encasement at a side surface. A conductive metal layer is adhered to the anode lead extension which allows termination preferably by electrically connecting a preformed solid metal terminal, most preferably an L shaped terminal, to the conductive metal layer at the side surface.

Abstract:
A method of anodizing comprising suspending at least one aluminium substrate into an electrolyte solution and applying an anodizing current to the electrolyte solution, wherein the electrolyte solution comprises from about 5 to about 99.5 wt.% glycerine, about 0.05 to about 5.0 wt.% of at least one orthophosphate salt selected from the group consisting of ammonium phosphates, alkali metal phosphates, amine phosphates, or mixtures thereof, and water.
