On a surface-roughened aluminum foil, an aluminum oxide film as an anodic
oxide film is formed. Then, a conductive polymer layer as a solid
electrolyte is formed thereon and thereafter a first metal plating layer
is directly formed on the conductive polymer layer, thereby forming a
cathode portion. On the other hand, a second metal plating layer is
formed on another portion of the surface-roughened aluminum foil, which
is not subjected to anodic oxidation or which is subjected to anodic
oxidation followed by polishing or formation of an anode deposition film,
to thereby form an anode portion. Third metal plating layers are formed
at the anode and the cathode portions to obtain a capacitor element. A
plurality of capacitor elements are stacked and bonded together by fusion
after formation of the third metal plating layers. Alternatively, the
capacitor elements may be bonded together by a conductive paste without
the third metal layers.
