Patent ID: 8400753

Claim:
A multilayer ceramic capacitor, comprising: a multilayer body having a plurality of dielectric layers and a plurality of internal electrode layers alternately laminated; wherein a width of internal electrode layer gradually decreases from a center thereof towards both ends thereof in a length direction; and a ratio of M 2 to L 2 (M 2 /L 2 ) ranges from 0.2 to 0.3, wherein L 2 represents a minimum width of the internal electrode layer at the ends thereof in the length direction, and M 2 represents a width of a portion of a margin portion M of the dielectric layer corresponding to the ends of the internal electrode layer in the length direction, the margin portion M being defined as a portion of the dielectric layer on which the internal electrode layer is not formed in the width direction, and an average thickness of each dielectric layer is 0.65 μm or less.
