Multilayer ceramic capacitor

A multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising:

• a multilayer body including a plurality of laminated dielectric layers and a plurality or laminated internal electrode layers, the multilayer body further including a first main surface and a second main surface which oppose each other in a lamination direction, a first side surface and a second side surface which oppose each other in a length direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the lamination direction, and a third side surface and a fourth side surface which oppose each other in a width direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the lamination direction and the length direction;
• and
• a plurality of external electrodes including a first external electrode, a second external electrode, a third external electrode, and a fourth external electrode;
• wherein
• the fir external electrode is provided on at least a portion of the first main surface, a portion of the first side surface, and a portion of the third side surface;
• the second external electrode is provided on at least a portion of the first main surface, a portion of the first side surface, and a portion of the fourth side surface;
• the third external electrode is provided on at least a portion of the first main surface, a portion of the second side surface, and a portion of the third side surface;
• the fourth external electrode is provided on at least a portion of the first main surface, a portion of the second side surface, and a portion of the fourth side surface;
• and
• the first main surface includes a plurality of first regions and a second region;
• the plurality of first regions include a region covered with the first external electrode, a region covered with the second external electrode, a region covered with the third external electrode, and a region covered with the fourth external electrode;
• and
• the second region includes a region exposed from the plurality of external electrodes;
• the plurality of first regions each include a plurality of recesses therein;
• the plurality of recesses in each of:
• the plurality of first regions each include a spherical curved wall surface;
• and
• the plurality of recesses in each of the plurality of first regions each have an average inlet size of about 0.3 μm or more and about 10.5 μm or less.
