A method for manufacturing an external electrode of a dry type multilayer ceramic capacitor includes the steps of preparing a silicon wafer, determining the number of electrode layers and the number of electric medium layers, forming an initial insulating layer, forming the electrode layers, forming the electric medium layers, enabling the electrode layers and the electric medium layers to be layered repeatedly, conducting thermal processing on the electrode layers and the electric medium layers, forming a protective layer, grinding the back face of the silicon wafer, segmenting the multilayer wafer in the form of a chip (Chip), etching the side face of the chip, and forming an external electrode. According to the method related to the structure, a preset circuit is used in the electrode layer forming step, and the external electrode is manufactured by executing the etching process well determined between the chip cutting step and the external electrode forming step. After a preset electrode layer circuit pattern and the chip are cut, adhesiveness between the electrode layers and the external electrode is enhanced through the cutting face etching method, and finally, the high-quality MLCC can be obtained.
