Detailed Description Of The Invention
Method of the present invention is described below.
(1) metal of valve acting
The tinsel that is used for valve acting of the present invention is the tinsel with valve action, such as aluminium, niobium, tantalum, aluminium alloy, niobium alloy and tantalum alloy. Be used for metal of the present invention and can be the form of plate and paillon foil. Preferred example comprises the paillon foil that can be used as the aluminum or aluminum alloy that volume or plate be purchased. If thickness can guarantee that after etching then this thickness is enough in the scope of the intensity that aluminium foil is enough. For example, thickness can be 0.05-1mm, preferred 0.08-0.4mm, more preferably 0.1-0.2mm.
Aluminium can contain the element of at least a Si of being selected from, Fe, Cu, Zn, Ni, Mn, Ti, Pb, B, P, V and Zr, and the amount of every kind of described element that preferred aluminium contains is 1-100 quality ppm, more preferably 10-50 quality ppm (based on the total amount of aluminium foil), condition is that the total amount of these elements is 1-1,000 quality ppm.
Especially, preferably contain the aluminium of the Cu of the Fe of Si, 1-100 quality ppm of 1-100 quality ppm and 1-100 quality ppm, and more preferably contain the aluminium of the Cu of the Fe of Si, 10-50 quality ppm of 10-50 quality ppm and 10-50 quality ppm.
The example of the aluminium alloy that mainly is made of aluminium comprises in aluminium and silicon, titanium, zirconium, tantalum, niobium and the hafnium one or more alloy.
There is no particular restriction for the size of the tinsel of the initial valve acting that cuts, as long as enough a plurality of for example like tabular capacitor element preparing greatly. Especially, the tinsel of valve acting preferably has for the enough large size of the capacitor element that takes out a plurality of fuel plates unit, each width of described cell is that 1-50mm and length are 1-50mm, more preferably width is that 2-20mm and length are 2-20mm, and more preferably width is that 2-5mm and length are 2-6mm.
(2) form line of cut
By the step of making line of cut in paillon foil is described with reference to the drawings.
In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 (A), form and have predetermined live width and each all forms the line of cut (grooving) 5 of the shape of capacitor element in order to be amounted to 30 (in 10 row * 3 row) by a paillon foil (plate) preparation, at least part ofly will become the part that anode leader divides and not cut.
Enlarged drawing such as Fig. 1 (A) is shown in Figure 2, marks line of cut (grooving) 5, and stays and be predefined for that anode leader is divided or do not cut in the part 2 of final capacitor element Anodic outflow of bus current. In this embodiment, line of cut is the square shape of opening wide (not cutting) on one side, but line of cut can have any shape, is angled or circular quadrangle, U-shaped (shape of a hoof) and semicircle such as its turning, as long as it can form capacitor element. In Fig. 2, only shown a line of cut, but can be on the tinsel of valve acting simultaneously or form many lines of cut in batches, and the arrangement of line of cut to be not limited to shown in Fig. 1 (A) that a kind of, as long as in the step of back, do not have problems.
Fig. 3 is that expression is along the schematic diagram of the cross section of the x-x among Fig. 2. Line of cut width d (in the different situation of width between the forward and backward surface of paillon foil, d represents less width) should be the twice of foil thickness or less. For example, when electrolytic etching, because the meltage of the metal of valve acting mainly controls by electric weight, and the shape of the hole that forms in engraving method and groove affects by current density to a great extent, and it is important suitably regulating electric current.
In the engraving method that electricity consumption is directly supplied (wherein the tinsel at valve acting provides terminal), electric current back and forth flows between paillon foil and counterelectrode. Therefore, if paillon foil and electrode are parallel to each other, then electric current flows in the vertical direction of paillon foil and electrode surface. But, having at paillon foil in the situation of line of cut, electric current is not vertical directly flow but flow to cut edge or the cutting surfaces of line of cut. On the other hand, the route of current direction resistance decreasing. That is, the electric current that distributes near the electrode part the line of cut tends in the smooth surface that does not flow to paillon foil, and flows to cut edge or the cutting surfaces of line of cut. Therefore, line of cut is wider, and more electric currents concentrate on the cut edge with strong etching cut edge.
Foil surfaces is long-pending to be reduced by the line of cut width that forms on it, and strengthens by cutting surfaces is long-pending. That is, line of cut is narrower, and the cut edge and the electric current on the cutting surfaces that concentrate on line of cut are fewer, therefore suppresses the cut edge excessive dissolution.
Particularly, the thickness of supposing paillon foil is that t and line of cut width are d, if the cut edge Surface Vertical forms in the plane of paillon foil, the value that the paillon foil total surface area reduces is that the value of 2d and increase is 2t. Value added " 2t " than reduction value " 2d " is large must be more many, electric current more may concentrate on the cut edge. In order to suppress the excessive dissolution on surface, cut edge, preferred reduction value (2d) is the twice of value added (2t) or still less, i.e. 2t * 2 〉=2d. In other words, width d is that being formed with of the twice of foil thickness t or line of cut still less helps alleviate electric current and converge, thereby suppresses the excessive dissolution on surface, cut edge.
Usually, be used for tinsel of the present invention be 1mm or still less, preferred 0.4mm or still less, more preferably 0.2mm or still less. Therefore, the line of cut width be 2mm or still less, preferred 0.8mm or still less, more preferably 0.4mm or still less. If width surpasses 2mm, electric current concentrates on surface, cut edge and the dissolving of cut edge surface local, causes the element effective area to reduce with final electric capacity and reduces.
Line of cut can be for example by using cutter cutting, Thomson blade cuts, mold punching press or laser cutting to form. Cutting is carried out at a certain angle so that any one becomes interior obtuse angle in the front surface of paillon foil and the rear surface with cutting surfaces, acute angle A (in the embodiment depicted in fig. 3 in another surface became with cutting surfaces simultaneously, the front surface of paillon foil becomes interior obtuse angle with cutting surfaces, acute angle in the rear surface becomes with cutting surfaces simultaneously). In the present invention, acute angle A be preferably 30 ° or larger, more preferably 50 ° or larger. If angle is less than 30 °, etching partly begins to carry out from sharpened edge, and this part excessive dissolution, and the result has reduced effective area, and this causes wider capacitance variations scope.
(3) etching
After the tinsel of valve acting forms line of cut, when the etching metal paillon foil, by whole tinsel is immersed by carrying out etching in the electrolytic solution that adds the preparations such as phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid in the aqueous solution of chloride ion-containing.
Being used for etched electrolytic solution is the solution that contains at least chlorion, and can be to the solution of the solution that wherein adds at least a sulphate-containing ion, phosphate anion, acetate ion, oxalate denominationby etc. and other alkali metal containing ion or alkaline-earth metal ions.
In the embodiment as shown in Fig. 1 (B); tinsel to single valve acting carries out etch processes; wherein mark 30 lines of cut 5 of each shape of all taking capacitor element with the arrangement of 3 row * 10 row, preferably adopt protective materials to protect 4a to being predefined for the part 2 that capacitor element divides with anode leader. The conservation treatment of employing protective materials can be such as the required forward and backward surface that imposes on paillon foil. This conservation treatment helps to reduce the defective goods ratio of getting an electric shock and causing owing to poor electricity in the process of the multi-layer solid electrolytic capacitor that a plurality of capacitor elements stacks are consisted of.
The protective materials that is used for etching step can be any material, if its can closely be connected to valve acting tinsel (such as aluminium foil) but upper and stable existence on the part that will protect and do not react with electrolytic solution (etching solution). The example of protective materials comprises acrylic resin, polyethylene sheets and anticorrosive additive material. The square rod of placing described material to be clamping relative section and to adopt pressure sensitive adhesive tape to be fixed, or described material is coated on the described part. The tinsel of using this protective materials is immersed electrolytic solution carry out etching, then as shown in Fig. 1 (C), protective materials is removed.

In the situation of AC electric current, electric current preferably has at least a waveform that for example comprises sinusoidal wave, triangular wave and square wave.
And, can be by at first carrying out the DC electrolytic etching, then carrying out the AC electrolytic etching and be combined with DC electrolytic etching and AC electrolytic etching. Also can only carry out etching by the DC electrolytic etching.
No matter use etching mode any of AC, DC or its combination, must make the electric current of input make the metal of valve acting play the electrode opposite with the electrode that places its both sides.
Etching is preferably undertaken by AC electrolytic etching method, wherein on the metal of valve acting and the electrode on the metal both sides that place valve acting terminal is provided, and alternating current directly is input between the metal and electrolysis of valve acting. According to the method, also etching cutting surfaces suitably.
After electrolytic etching, wash to remove the composition of electrolytic solution. Especially, in order to reduce residual chlorion, can after adopting the clean metal paillon foils such as salpeter solution, sodium aluminate solution, aluminium hydroxide solution, wash. Tinsel can further adopt to contain and be useful on the solution cleaning that forms the electrolytic solution of dielectric film by anodization.
And, can use chemical etching to increase surface area. In chemical etching, can use nitric acid, iron chloride etc.
In the tinsel that so obtains, the radius of curvature that the surface, cut edge has is 0.1-500 μ m, preferred 1-100 μ m, more preferably 2-50 μ m. If radius of curvature is less than 0.1 μ m, the surface, cut edge can not show the effect as curved surface, can not reduce electric leakage.
Porous layer thickness T 2 is preferably the twice of porous layer thickness T 1 in the tinsel plane surface or still less in the cut edge that obtains by etching. If T2 exceeds the twice of T1, the etch layer strength decreased in the cutting surfaces, and in etch layer owing to producing the crack in stack or the produced simultaneously pressure of sealed capacitor element. Fig. 1 (B) expression anode extension 2 is used the situation of protective materials 4a, and in the situation of the protection of not implementing to adopt protective materials, also divides on 2 in anode leader to form porous layer by etching.
(4) electrochemistry forms
If when etch processes, apply protective materials, can subsequently it be removed as shown in Fig. 1 (C). Then as shown in Fig. 1 (D), the tinsel of etched valve acting is cut into the metal forming slip 10 (aluminum foil strip of pectination) of pectination, then, with whole or at least zone 6 (everywhere all is predefined for has the solid electrolyte that forms cathode portion thereon, namely divides the part of 2 part (with following) shown in Fig. 2 except becoming anode leader) carry out electrochemistry and form. In addition, electrochemistry forms and can remove protective materials and to dividing 2 and form in the step in the back to apply as the interface portion between the zone of the solid electrolyte of cathode portion and carry out after sheltering thereon in anode leader, or can carry out in the situation of not removing protective materials.
Electrochemistry forms and can be undertaken by the whole bag of tricks, and there is no particular restriction to carry out condition that electrochemistry forms. For example, electrochemistry forms the electrolytic solution that can contain by use at least a ion such as oxalate, adipic acid root, borate or phosphate radical, is 0.05-20 quality % in electrolytic solution concentration, and temperature is 20-90 ℃, and current density is 0.01-600mA/cm2, voltage is to carry out under the condition of the electrochemistry that depends on the paillon foil of the processing numerical value that forms voltage. It is that 0.1-15 quality %, temperature are that 40-85 ℃, current density are 0.05-100mA/cm that condition preferably makes electrolytic solution concentration2。
After electrochemistry forms, if necessary, can carry out for example heat treatment of the impregnation process in phosphoric acid to improve water proofing property or film is strengthened.
