Abstract:
1. A multilayer ceramic electronic component comprising: a ceramic body including dielectric layers; internal electrodes disposed in the ceramic body to face each other with the dielectric layers interposed therebetween, and having an average thickness of 1.0 μm or less; and external electrodes formed on outer surfaces of the ceramic body and electrically connected to the internal electrodes, wherein at least one of the internal electrodes contains a conductive metal formed of nickel (Ni) particles and metal particles having oxidation resistance higher than that of the nickel (Ni) particles, and a ceramic additive is not present in the at least one of the internal electrodes, and wherein when an average particle diameter of the nickel (Ni) particles is defined as Dn and an average particle diameter of the metal particles having oxidation resistance higher than that of the nickel (Ni) particles is defined as Ds, 1/72≦Ds/Dn≦½ is satisfied.
