Patent ID: 8507395

Claim:
A dielectric ceramic composition comprising a compound expressed by a formula of ABO 3 , where “A” is Ba alone, or Ba and at least one selected from Ca and Sr, and “B” is Ti alone, or Ti and Zr, and having a perovskite-type crystal structure, and an oxide of an “R” element, where the “R” element is at least one selected from Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Lu, wherein said dielectric ceramic composition includes a dielectric particle having a core-shell structure which has a core and a shell, the shell being present around the core and including at least “R” element; and a maximum content rate of said “R” element exists at a boundary between said core and said shell.
