Multilayer ceramic capacitor and paste for producing bump

A multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising:

• a multilayer body including a dielectric layer and an inner electrode layer alternately laminated;
• an outer electrode layer on each of two end surfaces at both ends in a length direction perpendicular to a lamination direction of the multilayer body so as to cover end surface sides of two main surfaces at both ends in the lamination direction of the multilayer body and end surface sides of two side surfaces in a width direction perpendicular to the lamination direction and the length direction and which includes a base electrode layer connected to the inner electrode layers;
• and
• a bump on each of the two end surface sides of one of the two main surfaces of the multilayer body to hold therebetween the base electrode layer, covering a main surface side, and including a resin and a metal;
• wherein
• in each of the bumps, the end surface-side portion adjacent to the end surface on the side, where the bump is located, projects more than a central portion of the bump to an outside in the lamination direction;
• and
• a difference in thickness between the end surface-side portion and the central portion in the lamination direction is about 5% or more and about 30% or less of the thickness of the end surface-side portion of the bump in the lamination direction.
