Claim Text:
1. A multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising a capacitor body of a structure where multiple internal electrode layers are laminated via dielectric layers, wherein a part constituted by two adjacent internal electrode layers in a laminating direction and one dielectric layer present between the two internal electrode layers is defined as a unit capacitor, and capacitances of multiple unit capacitors arranged in the laminating direction exhibit a distribution that gradually increases from both ends of the multiple unit capacitors in the laminating direction toward an inside thereof, reaching apexes of increase, respectively, and gradually decreasing from the respective two apexes toward a center of the multiple unit capacitors in the laminating direction, wherein when an average capacitance of the unit capacitors at both ends in the laminating direction is expressed as Co, average capacitance of the unit capacitors corresponding to the two apexes of increase is expressed as Cp, and capacitance of the unit capacitor at the center in the laminating direction is expressed as Cs, then (Cp−Co)/Co (%) is 3.1% or more and (Cp−Cs)/Cs (%) is 3.0% or more.
