DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for anodizing tantalum metal. Tantalum solid electrolytic capacitors and tantalum thin film capacitors are capacitors that use as a dielectric an oxide film formed by anodizing the tantalum metal surface in an electrolyte. An electrolytic solution with water as a solute and a solvent is used. Anodic oxidation is performed by placing tantalum metal facing a counter electrode made of a conductive material such as metal or carbon, immersing both in an electrolytic solution, and applying current between the tantalum metal and the counter electrode using the tantalum metal as an anode.

For example, the voltage between the electrodes increases with time due to so-called constant current formation in which current is applied at a constant current. After a desired voltage is reached, the current is reduced by anodic oxidation, so-called constant voltage anodization, in which the voltage is maintained at this voltage, and the generation of the oxide film tends to stop. When the tantalum metal with the anodic oxide film formed is immersed in an electrolytic solution with as good conductivity as possible, facing the cathode,
A capacitor action is exhibited between these two poles. That is, a capacitor is constructed in which the oxide film is used as a dielectric, and the tantalum metal and electrolyte on both sides thereof are used as electrode bodies. The product of the formation voltage V mentioned earlier and the capacitance C per unit area of the oxide film dielectric is called the CV value (μF・V/cm 2 ), and it is approximately the same regardless of the formation voltage. constant. In the case of an ordinary electrolytic solution for anodizing using water as a solvent, the CV value is 12.5 μF·V/cm 2 after constant voltage formation at 25° C. for 2 hours.

On the other hand, the operating voltage of a capacitor is regulated by the formation voltage, and in so-called wet electrolytic capacitors in which the electrolyte is the counter electrode, the voltage is 60 to 70% of the formation voltage.
For solid electrolytic capacitors with manganese dioxide as the counter electrode, an operating voltage of 25 to 35% is selected, and in thin film capacitors with a metal thin film as the counter electrode, an even lower operating voltage is selected to avoid dielectric breakdown of the oxide film.

Traditionally, efforts to save tantalum metal and downsize capacitors have focused on increasing the surface area by making the tantalum powder used for sintered tantalum electrodes finer and lowering the sintering temperature, and by improving the baking conditions for manganese dioxide in solid capacitors. Progress has been made by improving the operating voltage by avoiding insulation deterioration of the film.

The present invention aims to reduce the amount of tantalum material and downsize the capacitor by increasing the CV value of the oxide film. In the present invention
The increase in the CV value is characterized by using a phosphoric acid solution with low water content as the electrolyte for anodizing. The preferred concentration range of the phosphoric acid solution in the anodizing method of the present invention is one consisting of 90 to 99% H 3 PO 4 and the balance water; at H 3 PO 4 concentrations below this, almost no increase in the CV value is observed. First, if the concentration is higher than this, that is, if the water content is further reduced, H 3 PO 4 will shift to a dehydrated component, and an insulating oxide film will not be formed in such a composition range. In the preferred range
The CV value can be increased by up to about 8% compared to a normal dilute phosphoric acid aqueous electrolyte, and tan δ and leakage current do not deteriorate.
