Multilayer ceramic capacitor

A multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising:

• a multilayer body including a first surface and a second surface opposed to each other in a lamination direction, a third surface and a fourth surface opposed to each other in a first direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the lamination direction, and a fifth surface and a sixth surface opposed to each other in a second direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the lamination direction and the first direction;
• a first external electrode on the third surface of the multilayer body;
• and
• a second external electrode on the fourth surface of the multilayer body;
• wherein
• a dimension of the multilayer body in the first direction is shorter than a dimension of the multilayer body in the second direction,
• the multilayer body includes a plurality of first internal electrodes each including one end exposed on the third surface, a plurality of second internal electrodes each including one end exposed on the fourth surface, and a plurality of inner dielectric layers each with a corresponding one of the plurality of first internal electrodes or a corresponding one of the plurality of second internal electrodes provided thereon;
• the plurality of inner dielectric layers each include at least Ca, Sr or Zr, and Li as main components;
• and
• in at least one of a region of about 30 μm centered on a dimension of about ½ in the lamination direction and an interface between the multilayer body and the first external electrode or a region of about 30 μm centered on a dimension of about ½ in the lamination direction and an interface between the multilayer body and the second external electrode, Li segregation exists in at least one of the first external electrode or the second external electrode, and a size of the Li segregation in the at least one of the first external electrode or the second external electrode is larger than a size of Li segregation in the plurality of inner dielectric layers.
