Claim 0:
1. A multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising:
a laminate including a dielectric ceramic layer and an internal electrode layer that are laminated in a lamination direction; and
an external electrode connected to the internal electrode layer; wherein
the laminate includes a main surface that faces in the lamination direction and a lateral surface that faces in a width direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the lamination direction;
the laminate includes a central layer portion in which the internal electrode layer and the dielectric ceramic layer are alternately laminated, and a covering portion covering an outer surface of the central layer portion in the lamination direction and the width direction;
a region where the main surface meets the lateral surface in the laminate is defined as a corner portion, the corner portion is rounded; and
when viewing the laminate and the external electrode through a cross-section parallel or substantially parallel to the width direction and the lamination direction, the internal electrode layer closest to the corner portion is directly connected to the external electrode at at least one corner portion of the laminate.
