Abstract:
A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes: a ceramic multilayer structure having a structure in which each of a plurality of ceramic dielectric layers and each of a plurality of internal electrode layers are alternately stacked and are alternately exposed to two edge faces of the ceramic multilayer structure; and a pair of external electrodes that are formed on the two edge faces, wherein when an average value of insulation resistances of each pair of the internal electrode adjacent to each other in a stacking direction is IRave and a minimum value of the insulation resistances is IRmin, (IRave−IRmin)/IRave

Abstract:
A multi-layer ceramic capacitor is constituted by ceramic dielectric layers alternately laminated with conductive layers, wherein the ceramic dielectric layers are sintered in such a way that core-shell grains having a core-shell structure are mixed with uniform solid-solution grains resulting from uniform progression of the solid solution process. Such multi-layer ceramic capacitor is characterized in that the area ratio of the core-shell grains to all sintered grains constituting the ceramic dielectric layer is 5 to 15% and that the average grain size of all sintered grains including the core-shell grains and uniform solid-solution grains is 0.3 to 0.5 μm.
