Abstract
A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes: a multilayer structure in which each of dielectric layers and each of internal electrode layers are alternately stacked, a main component of the dielectric layers being ceramic, a main component of the internal electrode layers being a metal, wherein: at least one of the internal electrode layers includes a grain of which a main component is ceramic; and the grain has a diameter of 40% or more of an average thickness of the at least one of the internal electrode layers.
