Multilayer ceramic capacitor and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a capacitor body that includes an active portion including dielectric layers and internal electrode layers that are alternately disposed, and cover portions including dielectric layers disposed on upper and lower surfaces of the active portion in the thickness direction, and external electrodes disposed on the capacitor body. The external electrodes include inner layers disposed on the active portion to be electrically coupled to at least one of the internal electrode layers, and outer layers disposed on the inner layers and the cover portions to cover the inner layers. The inner layers include a conductive metal in an amount of 95 atom % to 100 atom % based on the total amount of the inner layers. The outer layers include a conductive metal, and glass including aluminum oxide and silicon dioxide. The thickness of the inner layers is within a range from 1 μm to 3 μm.
