Multilayer ceramic capacitor

Abstract

To provide a multilayer ceramic capacitor capable of improving the connectivity between a draw-out portion of an internal electrode layer and an external electrode.SOLUTION: A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes: an element assembly portion 110 including a plurality of dielectric layers 140 and a plurality of internal electrode layers 150 stacked in a thickness direction; and a pair of external electrodes 120, 130. In a cross section of the element assembly portion 110 that passes through a center portion in a length direction and is parallel to the thickness direction and a width direction, a shift amount in the width direction of adjacent internal electrode layers 150 in the thickness direction is smaller than 3 μm. Each of the plurality of internal electrode layers 140 includes an opposing portion that faces the internal electrode layer arranged adjacently in the thickness direction, and a draw-out portion. A width of the opposing portion is larger than a width of the lead portion in the width direction. In the element assembly portion 110, a region where the draw-out portions overlap in the thickness direction has a thick portion that is thicker than the center portion of the element assembly portion in the length direction. End portions in the width direction of the draw-out portions adjacent to each other in the thickness direction are shifted by 3 μm or more in the width direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 11
