Claim 26:
27. A multilayer capacitor comprising:
a body including a multilayer structure of dielectric layers and first and second internal electrodes with the dielectric layers interposed therebetween, the body including a first surface and a second surface to which the first internal electrodes and the second internal electrodes are respectively exposed, the first surface and the second surface opposing each other in a first direction, a third surface and a fourth surface opposing each other in a second direction which is a direction in which the dielectric layers are stacked, and a fifth surface and a sixth surface opposing each other in a third direction crossing the first and second directions;
a first external electrode disposed on the first surface and connected to the first internal electrodes, and including first band portions respectively extending on a portion of the fifth surface and a portion of the sixth surface; and
a second external electrode disposed on the second surface and connected to the second internal electrodes, and including second band portions respectively extending on another portion of the fifth surface and another portion of the sixth surface,
wherein one of the first internal electrodes includes a substantially flat portion facing, and spaced apart from, one of the fifth surface and the sixth surface in the third direction,
in the first internal electrode, the substantially flat portion has a greatest length in the first direction,
the substantially flat portion is disposed in a region spaced apart from a region between the first band portions of the first external electrode,
the one of the first internal electrode further includes another substantially flat portion disposed between the substantially flat portion and the first surface,
the another substantially flat portion extends substantially parallel to the first direction,
a portion of the another substantially flat portion is disposed in the region between the first band portions of the first external electrode, and another portion of the another substantially flat portion is disposed outside the region between the first band portions of the first external electrode, and
the substantially flat portion facing one of the fifth or sixth surface is closer to the fifth or sixth surface in the third direction than the another substantially flat portion.
