Abstract
The manufacturing of tantalum and niobium-based capacitors begins with the pressing and sintering of tantalum, niobium, or NbO anodes and ends with the testing and packaging of the finished capacitors. The major stages of the manufacturing are the making of porous anodes, growing of either Ta2O5 or Nb2O5 dielectric on the surface of porous anodes, forming of either liquid electrolyte, MnO2, or conductive polymer cathode, coating with external layers of carbon and silver in solid capacitors, and testing and packaging of finished capacitors.
