Capacitor and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

One object is to inhibit the reduction of effective capacitance of a capacitor that includes an intermediate layer containing Fe. An aspect of the present disclosure provides a capacitor including a body, a first external electrode provided on the body, and a second external electrode provided on the body. The body includes: a first internal electrode layer; a second internal electrode layer; a dielectric layer disposed between the first and second internal electrode layers; and a first intermediate layer disposed between the first internal electrode layer and the dielectric layer, the first intermediate layer containing Fe at a first concentration. The first concentration is from 0.2 at % to 5 at %. The dielectric layer contains Fe at a second concentration, and the second concentration is less than 1 at %. An Fe concentration ratio, which represents a ratio of the first concentration to the second concentration, is greater than 1.
