MULTILAYER CERAMIC CAPACITOR

摘要

The present invention provides a multilayer ceramic capacitor which makes internal electrodes thin while suppressing lowering of a coverage due to the internal electrodes. The multilayer ceramic capacitor that includes dielectric layers made mainly of a perovskite compound containing Ba and Ti and optionally Zr and Hf, and the inner electrodes having an average thickness of 0.5 micrometer or less. The Mg content of the dielectric layers is adjusted in the range of 0<=Mg<=0.4 (parts by mole) based on a total of 100 parts by mole of Ti, Zr, and Hf. In addition, the proportion of Mg-containing defects in the inner electrodes is approximately 20% or more. That is, the proportion is (the number of Mg-containing defects/the number of previous defects) x 100 (%) >= 20 (%).
