Multilayer ceramic capacitor and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a body including a capacitance region in which at least one first internal electrode and at least one second internal electrode are alternately stacked in a first direction with at least one dielectric layer interposed therebetween; and first and second external electrodes disposed on the body to be spaced apart from each other with the capacitance region interposed therebetween in a second direction, different from the first direction, and respectively connected to the at least one first internal electrode and the at least one second internal electrode, wherein the body further includes a plurality of margin regions disposed with the capacitance region interposed therebetween in a third direction, different from the first and second directions, wherein each of the plurality of margin regions includes a second margin region and a first margin region disposed between the second margin region and the capacitance region, and wherein a size of a crystal grain in the second margin region is larger than a size of a crystal grain in the first margin region.
