Abstract
In an embodiment, a multilayer ceramic capacitor 10 has a first external electrode 12 and a second external electrode 13 that each contain metal grains MP and dielectric grains DP, where an oxide of the same metal element constituting the metal grain MP, or MO, is present at the interface between the metal grain MP and the dielectric grain DP. The multilayer ceramic capacitor can prevent the hardness of its external electrodes from dropping, even when the external electrodes contain metal grains and dielectric grains.
Claims13
A multilayer ceramic capacitor using external electrodes that contain metal grains and dielectric grains, wherein a metal oxide of a same metal element constituting the metal grain is present at an interface between the metal grain and the dielectric grain of the external electrodes, wherein the dielectric grains contain barium titanate.
