Claim 13:
14. A multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising:
a ceramic body including a dielectric layer, and a first internal electrode and a second internal electrode, disposed to oppose each other with the dielectric layer interposed therebetween; and
a first external electrode and a second external electrode disposed on two surfaces of the ceramic body opposing in a first direction and connected to the first and second internal electrodes, respectively,
wherein the ceramic body further comprises:
a capacitance formation portion including the first and second internal electrodes, stacked in a third direction with the dielectric layer interposed therebetween, to form capacitance;
a first margin portion and a second margin portion disposed on both surfaces of the capacitance formation portion, respectively, in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and to a third direction in which the first and second internal electrodes and the dielectric layer are stacked; and
a first cover portion and a second cover portion, disposed on both surfaces of the capacitance formation portion, both surfaces of the first margin portion, and both surfaces of the second margin portion in the third direction, respectively,
wherein the first and second cover portions each comprise two or more cover layers, stacked in the third direction and having a discrete surface between adjacent layers of the two or more cover layers,
wherein the first and second cover portions each comprise a first cover layer adjacent to an internal electrode, disposed on an outermost side among the first and second internal electrodes, and immediately adjacent to the capacitance formation portion, a second cover layer disposed on the first cover layer, and
wherein an average density of the second cover layer is higher than an average density of the first cover layer.
