Problems solved by technology

Regardless of the type of conductive polymer used, the main disadvantages of conductive polymer capacitors are: 2 Conductive polymer capacitors have a relatively low operating voltage compared to their counterparts
[0017] Another problem with solid electrolytic capacitors containing conductive polymers is high leakage at high temperatures and after being subjected to surface mount conditions
However, these solutions do not address the balance between moisture resistance / low moisture absorption and water retention required for solid electrolytic capacitors with improved reliability
The above solutions also do not solve the problems associated with SMT reflow exposure

Embodiment 1

[0090] A part was prepared in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1 except that a hydrophilic polymer polyethylene oxide (marked as HL) was used to prepare a conductive polymer dispersion. A conventional graphite coating is applied followed by a silver layer. The parts were assembled and the ESR measured before and after surface mounting. The relationship between the moisture content and the leakage current was measured, and it is described in Table 2.

Embodiment 2

[0092] A part was prepared in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1 except that an oligomer having hydroxyl and carboxyl groups (marked as HP) available for crosslinking was used to prepare a conductive polymer dispersion. A conventional graphite coating is applied followed by a silver layer. The parts were assembled and the ESR measured before and after surface mounting. The relationship between the moisture content and the leakage current was measured, and it is described in Table 2.

Embodiment 3

[0096]A part was prepared in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1, except that a conductive polymer dispersion was prepared using a polymer mixture containing polyethylene oxide, polyvinyl alcohol, and hydroxyethyl cellulose (marked for HLx). A conventional graphite coating is applied followed by a silver layer. The parts were assembled and the ESR measured before and after surface mounting. The moisture content measured by the Karl Fischer method was 24% by weight, while that of Comparative Example 2 was 18% by weight. After a post-simulation SMT (two cycles) at 260 °C, the effect of moisture content on leakage is in image 3 displayed in .

Abstract

The invention provides a capacitor with an anode and a dielectric over the anode. A first conductive polymer layer is over the dielectric wherein the first conductive polymer layer comprises a polyanion and a first binder. A second conductive polymer layer is over the first conductive polymer layer wherein the second conductive polymer layer comprises a polyanion and a second binder and wherein the first binder is more hydrophilic than the second binder.
