Capacitor and method for manufacturing the same

A method of manufacturing a capacitor including a main body in which a plurality of dielectric layers and a plurality of electrode layers are alternately laminated, and an external electrode that is connected to at least part of the main body,

• the method comprising, scanning with a laser beam, before the external electrode is formed by metal spraying on the main body, at least part of a connection surface of the main body, which is to be subjected to the metal spraying and at which ends of the plurality of dielectric layers and ends of the plurality of electrode layers are exposed,
• wherein the scanning includes forming, by the laser beam, in at least part of the connection surface, concave-convex structures of the ends of the plurality of dielectric layers, which are made of a thermosetting resin, and a region that includes the ends of the plurality of electrode layers recessed with respect to the ends of the plurality of dielectric layers,
• wherein the method of manufacturing further comprises forming the external electrode, by the metal spraying, on the connection surfaces that have been scanned by the laser beam, the external electrode being in the region, adhered to the ends of the plurality of dielectric lavers without obstacles of presence of exposed electrode lavers and bonded electrically with the recessed ends of the plurality of electrode layers.
