MULTILAYER CERAMIC CAPACITOR

摘要

A multilayer ceramic capacitor may have low equivalent series inductance (ESL), in which via electrodes are opposed to each other diagonally and be off-centered from positions corresponding to center points of external electrodes, so that a distance between the via electrodes is significantly reduced and a current path is reduced.

1. A multilayer ceramic capacitor, comprising:
a ceramic body in which a plurality of dielectric layers are stacked; a plurality of first and second internal electrodes alternately disposed in the ceramic body with at least one of the dielectric layers interposed therebetween; a pair of first external electrodes disposed on at least one of upper and lower surfaces of the ceramic body to be positioned diagonally with respect to each other; a pair of second external electrodes disposed on at least one of the upper and lower surfaces of the ceramic body to be positioned diagonally with respect to each other in a direction intersecting that of the pair of first external electrodes; a pair of first via electrodes formed to penetrate through the ceramic body in a stacking direction in positions corresponding to those of the pair of first external electrodes, and connecting the plurality of first internal electrodes to each other in the stacking direction; and a pair of second via electrodes formed to penetrate through the ceramic body in the stacking direction in positions corresponding to those of the pair of second external electrodes, and connecting the plurality of second internal electrodes to each other in the stacking direction, wherein the first and second internal electrodes have first and second through holes spaced apart from the second and first via electrodes, respectively, the pair of first via electrodes are opposed to each other diagonally and are disposed to be off-centered from positions corresponding to center points of the pair of first external electrodes, and the pair of second via electrodes are opposed to each other diagonally and are disposed to be off-centered from positions corresponding to center points of the pair of second external electrodes.
