Patent ID: 6975502

Claim:
A multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising an internal electrode layer, an internal dielectric layer having a thickness of less than 2 μm, and an external dielectric layer wherein: said internal dielectric layer and the external dielectric layer are formed by including a plurality of dielectric particles; an average particle diameter of the entire dielectric particles in said internal dielectric layer is D50a (unit: μm), and an average particle diameter of the entire dielectric particles existing at a position being away at least by 5 μm from the outermost internal electrode layer in the thickness direction in said external dielectric layer is D50b (unit: μm), the ratio (D50a/D50b) of said D50a and said D50b is assumed to be y (no unit); and a thickness of said internal dielectric layer is x (unit: μm), standard deviation of a particle size distribution of the entire dielectric particles in said internal dielectric layers is σ (no unit), and a ratio that dielectric particles (coarse particles) having an average particle diameter of 2.25 times of said D50a exist in the entire dielectric particles of said internal dielectric layer is p (unit: %) said y and x satisfy a relationship of y<−0.75x+2.015 and y>−0.75x+1.740, said σ satisfies σ<0.091, and said p satisfies p<2.85%.
