Multilayer ceramic capacitor and manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

A multilayer ceramic capacitor and a method of manufacturing the same. The multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a capacitor body including a dielectric layer and an internal electrode layer; and an external electrode disposed outside the capacitor body. The external electrode includes a lower layer positioned on a cross-section of the capacitor body to be electrically connected to the internal electrode layer, and an upper layer to cover the lower layer and positioned on the lower layer. The lower layer includes a first glass including aluminum (Al) in an amount of more than 0 atom % to 8 atom % or less with respect to a total amount of components of the first glass. The upper layer includes a second glass including aluminum (Al) in an amount of 10 atom % or more to 20 atom % or less with respect to a total amount of components of the second glass.
