Multilayer ceramic capacitor and method of manufacturing the same

A multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising:

• a capacitor body that includes dielectric layers and internal electrode layers, the capacitor body comprising (i) an active portion in which the dielectric layers and the internal electrode layers are alternately disposed, and (ii) a cover portion in which the dielectric layers are disposed on surfaces of the active portion opposing each other in a thickness direction;
• and
• external electrodes that are disposed on an outside of the capacitor body,
• each of the external electrodes including (i) an inner layer that is disposed on the active portion on a cross-section of the capacitor body so as to be electrically coupled to at least one of the internal electrode layers, and (ii) an outer layer that is disposed on the inner layer and the cover portion so as to cover the inner layer,
• the inner layer including a conductive metal in an amount of 95 atom % to 100 atom % based on a total amount of elements in the inner layer, and
• the outer layer including the conductive metal, and glass including aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and silicon dioxide (SiO2),
• wherein a thickness of the inner layer is in a range of from 1 μm to 3 μm,
• the outer layer includes an interface region R1 defined as a region from a boundary between the inner layer and the outer layer to a point in a range of from 5% to 15% of a total thickness of the external electrodes in a length direction (L-axis direction), and
• the glass of the outer layer is included in the interface region R1 in an amount of 50 mol % to 100 mol % based on a total amount of the glass of the outer layer.
