Multilayer ceramic capacitor with patterned electrodes

Abstract

A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a ceramic body having a preset size of length, width, and thickness, first and second external electrodes respectively including body portions covering both end portions spaced apart from each other in a length direction of the ceramic body and band portions extending from the body portions and covering portions of both side surfaces of the ceramic body in a width direction and portions of both side surfaces of the ceramic body in a thickness direction, a plurality of first and second internal electrodes alternately led out from both end portions of the ceramic body with a dielectric layer interposed therebetween and connected to the first and second external electrodes, respectively, and a patterned electrode partially covering one surface of the band portion in the thickness direction of the ceramic body.
