Abstract
In a multilayer ceramic capacitor including first and second inner electrodes alternately arranged with respect to a stacking direction of a multilayer body, a polarity based on a direction of voltage applied between a first outer electrode and a second outer electrode is determined such that the first inner electrodes function as positive electrodes and the second inner electrodes function as negative electrodes. The first inner electrodes have a first metal composition including Cu and Sn, and the second inner electrodes have a second metal composition including Cu. The second metal composition of the second inner electrodes includes Cu as a main component, and at least one metal element selected from Au, Pt, Ir, Pd, Os, Ag, Rh, and Ru, which have standard electrode potentials higher than that of Cu, as an additive component.
