Multilayer ceramic capacitor and method for manufacturing the same

A method for manufacturing a multilayer ceramic capacitor, the method comprising:

• producing a plurality of ceramic green sheets;
• forming first and second inner electrode patterns including capacity contribution portions and capacity non-contribution portions on the ceramic green sheets such that the capacity non-contribution portions have a greater thickness than that of the capacity contribution portions;
• stacking the ceramic green sheets such that the capacity contribution portions of the first and second inner electrode patterns face each other, to form a ceramic stacked body;
• cutting the ceramic stacked body such that one end of each of the capacity non-contribution portions is exposed from the side, and firing the same to form a ceramic sintered body;
• and
• forming first and second outer electrodes on the side of the ceramic sintered body such that the first and second outer electrodes are electrically connected with one end of each of the capacity non-contribution portions.
