PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multilayer ceramic capacitor allowing a multilayer chip including a side margin portion to be sintered more densely to achieve increased reliability.SOLUTION: A multilayer ceramic capacitor 10 includes a ceramic element assembly 12 and external electrodes formed on both end surfaces of the ceramic element assembly 12. The ceramic element assembly 12 comprises: an inner layer portion 26 including a plurality of ceramic layers 20 for inner layers and a plurality of first and second internal electrodes 22, 24 each disposed at an interface between the ceramic layers 20 for inner layers; outer layer portions 28, 30 disposed to sandwich the inner layer portion 26 in a stacking direction; and side margin portions 32, 34 disposed to sandwich the inner layer portion 26 and the outer layer portions 28, 30 in a width direction. Pores decrease in number from the inside of the side margin portions 32, 34 toward the outside. The pores as used herein are intermingled with a space or a portion having glass therein. |
