Multilayer ceramic capacitor and method of manufacturing the same

A method of manufacturing a multilayer ceramic capacitor, the method comprising:

• preparing a laminate by stacking a plurality of ceramic sheets having first and second internal electrodes formed thereon while the first and second internal electrodes face each other, having at least one ceramic sheet interposed therebetween, and pressing the stacked sheets;
• cutting the laminate into chips each corresponding to a capacitor and sintering the same to obtain a ceramic body;
• and
• forming first and second external electrodes on the ceramic body to be connected to the first and second internal electrodes, respectively,
• wherein the forming of the first and second external electrodes includes:
• forming a first external electrode layer using a conductive paste containing copper and glass to extend from an end surface of the ceramic body to portions of main and side surfaces of the ceramic body;
• forming a second external electrode layer on the first external electrode layer using a paste containing glass, the second external electrode layer being shorter than the first external electrode layer so that a portion of the first external electrode layer is exposed;
• and
• forming a third external electrode layer using a conductive paste containing copper and glass so as to cover the first and second external electrode layers.
