Multilayer ceramic capacitor including raised portions thicker from middle portion towards outer periphery

A multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising:

• a multilayer body including a plurality of dielectric layers and a plurality of internal electrodes laminated in a layered manner therein, the multilayer body including a first surface and a second surface opposing each other in a lamination direction, a third surface and a fourth surface opposing each other in a length direction which intersects the lamination direction, and a fifth surface and a sixth surface opposing each other in a width direction which intersects the lamination direction and the length direction;
• and
• external electrodes respectively on the third and fourth surfaces of the multilayer body;
• wherein
• the first surface includes raised portions respectively on one side and another side with a middle portion of the first surface interposed therebetween;
• each of the raised portions becomes thicker in the lamination direction from a vicinity of the middle portion toward an outer periphery of the first surface;
• a distance in the lamination direction between an internal electrode included in the plurality of internal electrodes and located adjacent to the first surface and an internal electrode included in the plurality of internal electrodes and located adjacent to the second surface in the raised portions is greater than a distance in the lamination direction between the internal electrode adjacent to the first surface and the internal electrode adjacent to the second surface in the middle portion;
• and
• in a cross-section in the length direction and the lamination direction, a thickness in the lamination direction of the raised portions is greater than a thickness in the lamination direction at the third surface.
