The present invention relates to the field of solid state capacitors, and in particular to capacitors that have an anode body formed of porous valve action material, such as tantalum, niobium or niobium monoxide. According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of forming capacitor anode bodies from valve action material comprising the steps of: providing a capacitor grade powder of the valve action material, charging the powder into a press mold, compacting the powder in the mold so as to shape the powder into an anode body shape, stabilizing the body shape, for example by sintering of the material to form an inter-connected porous body, characterized in that the molding process involves the use of a lubricant applied locally to lubricate the interface between an outside surface of the anode body and a molding surface of the mold.

1. In the manufacture of solid state capacitors, a method of forming anode bodies from valve action material comprising: providing a powder of the valve action material, wherein the valve action material comprises tantalum metal, niobium metal, or a conductive niobium sub-oxide,charging the powder into a die of a press mold, wherein the press mold comprises a contact depot that provides a lubricant contact surface and is occupied by an adsorbent material that holds a lubricant therein; andinserting a punch into the die to compact and form the anode body and then withdrawing the punch therefrom, wherein the punch contacts the lubricant contact surface during insertion into and/or withdrawal from the die and thereby carries the lubricant into the cavity and in contact with a surface of the die where it is applied to an external surface of the anode body. 2. A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the lubricant is a liquid. 3. A method as claimed in claim 2 wherein the lubricant is supplied via a capillary feed. 4. A method as claimed in claim 2 wherein the lubricant is supplied via a gravity feed. 5. A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the adsorbent material includes a fibrous material. 6. A method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the fibrous material is a felt, woven textile, or sponge. 7. A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the punch further acts to eject the compacted and formed anode body from the die. 8. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the valve action powder is not provided with an admixed lubricant. 9. A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein after compacting and before sintering, the anode body is washed by contacting with a leaching medium to remove lubricant. 10. A method as claimed in claim 9 wherein the leaching medium is water at above room temperature. 11. A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the press mold comprises multiple die and punch pairs arranged to operate together, whereby multiple anode bodies may be formed in parallel on the same apparatus. 12. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the valve action material comprises a conductive niobium sub-oxide. 13. A method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising sintering the anode body. 14. A method as claimed in claim 13, wherein the lubricant is removed from the anode body during sintering. 15. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the adsorbent material includes a foam. 16. A method as claimed in claim 15, wherein the foam includes a first layer of finely-pored open cell foam and a second layer of coarsely-pored open cell foam. 17. A method of manufacturing solid state capacitors from valve action material comprising the steps of: forming a porous anode body by a method according to claim 1,forming a dielectric layer on an exposed surface of the anode body,forming a cathode layer on the dielectric layer andforming a cathode terminal in electrically conducting contact with the cathode layer and an anode terminal in electrically conducting contact with the anode body.
