Claim 27:
28. A method of manufacturing a multilayer ceramic electronic component, the method comprising:
forming a body including a laminate body having a first internal conductive paste layer and a second internal conductive paste layer with an internal ceramic paste layer interposed therebetween;
forming a first conductive paste layer on one surface of the body, and a first ceramic paste layer covering the first conductive paste layer and being in contact with the body;
forming a second conductive paste layer on another surface of the body, and a second ceramic paste layer covering the second conductive paste layer and being in contact with the body; and
simultaneously sintering the body, the first conductive paste layer, the first ceramic paste layer, the second conductive paste layer, and the second ceramic paste layer,
wherein a first lead electrode, formed of the first conductive paste layer by the sintering, is connected to a first internal electrode, formed of the first conductive paste layer by the sintering,
a second lead electrode, formed of the second conductive paste layer by the sintering, is connected to a second internal electrode, formed of the second conductive paste layer by the sintering,
the first lead electrode includes an end exposed from a first ceramic layer, formed of the first ceramic paste layer by the sintering, and the second lead electrode includes an end exposed from a second ceramic layer, formed of the second ceramic paste layer by the sintering,
the laminate body, after the sintering, includes first and second surfaces opposing each other in a first direction, third and fourth surfaces opposing each other in a second direction, and fifth and sixth surfaces opposing each other in a third direction,
a ceramic body, formed of the body by the sintering, includes the first internal electrode and the second internal electrode stacked in the third direction with a dielectric layer formed of the internal ceramic paste and interposed therebetween, a first margin portion disposed on the third surface, and a second margin portion disposed on the fourth surface,
among the first to sixth surfaces of the laminate body, the first lead electrode is disposed only on the first surface of the laminate body,
among the first to sixth surfaces of the laminate body, the second lead electrode is disposed only on the second surface of the laminate body,
the first ceramic layer covers at least a portion of the first lead electrode,
the second ceramic layer covers at least a portion of the second lead electrode,
a maximum value of a width of the first lead electrode and/or the second lead electrode in the second direction is smaller than a maximum value of a width of the ceramic body in the second direction, and
a maximum value of a height of the first lead electrode and/or the second lead electrode in the third direction is smaller than a maximum value of a height of the ceramic body in the third direction.
