MULTILAYER CERAMIC ELECTRONIC COMPONENT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING MULTILAYER CERAMIC ELECTRONIC COMPONENT

摘要

A multilayer ceramic electronic component includes a multilayer body including ceramic layers and inner electrode layers, the inner electrode layers being disposed on interfaces between the ceramic layers, and an outer electrode on an external surface of the multilayer body and electrically connected to first end portions of the inner electrode layers exposed to the external surface of the multilayer body. Each of the ceramic layers includes a thin portion with a continuously reducing thickness near the first end portion. Each inner electrode layer includes a thick portion near a connection with the outer electrode, the thick portion having a thickness continuously increasing toward the connection on a first side in accordance with a shape of the thin portion in the ceramic layer. A distance between a second end portion in the inner electrode layer not joined to the outer electrode, and the thick portion adjacent to the second end portion is equal to or longer than an interlayer distance between the inner electrode layers.
