Method of manufacturing capacitor component having external electrodes with reduced thickness

A method of manufacturing a capacitor component, comprising:

• forming a body by alternately stacking a plurality of dielectric layers and first and second internal electrodes;
• forming first and second metal layers on first and second surfaces of the body on which the first and second internal electrodes are exposed, respectively, wherein the first metal layer covers the entire first surface of the body;
• forming first and second ceramic layers, only on the first and second surfaces, respectively, to cover the first and second metal layers, respectively;
• forming a first external electrode to be connected to the first metal layer, while being disposed on the first surface to cover the first ceramic layer and being disposed on third and fourth surfaces of the body opposing each other in a stacking direction of the plurality of dielectric layers;
• and
• forming a second external electrode to be connected to the second metal layer, while being disposed on the second surface to cover the second ceramic layer and being disposed on the third and fourth surfaces of the body,
• wherein the first and second ceramic layers include barium titanate, a same material included in the plurality of dielectric layers of the body.
