BACKGROUND
The invention relates to a capacitor structure which is
asymmetrical because it employs an anode and a cathode of
different composition and structure.
Claim 23 is reproduced below.
23. A capacitor comprising:
a cathode comprising a cathode coating including an
oxide of at least one metal selected from the group
consisting of cobalt, molybdenum, and tungsten;
an anode spaced from the cathode coating, the anode
having a coating of an oxide of a metal selected from the
group consisting of tantalum, aluminum, niobium, zirconium,
and titanium; and
an electrolyte disposed between and in contact with the
cathode coating and the anode.
The examiner relies on the following references:
Hähn et al. (Hähn) 4,347,084 August 31, 1982
Ahmad et al. (Ahmad) 5,800,857 September 1, 1998
