Method of manufacturing a multilayer ceramic electronic component having protrusions at one ends of internal electrodes

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a multilayer ceramic electronic component includes a ceramic body having a capacitance forming portion in which first and second internal electrodes are alternately laminated with respective dielectric layers interposed therebetween, and first and second external electrodes respectively disposed on surfaces of the ceramic body. The first and second internal electrodes are respectively exposed to surfaces of the ceramic body, and first and second protrusions, each including a carbon compound, are respectively disposed on end portions of the first and second internal electrodes exposed to the surfaces of the ceramic body.
