Abstract:
A multilayer ceramic electronic component includes: a body having first to sixth surfaces, and including a plurality of dielectric layers and a plurality of first and second internal electrodes alternately disposed and exposed through the third and fourth surfaces, respectively; and first and second external electrodes disposed on the third and fourth surfaces of the body, respectively, and including first and second connected portions connected to the first and second internal electrodes, respectively, and first and second band portions extending from the first and second connected portions to portions of at least one of the first and second surfaces of the body, respectively. The external electrodes include conductive layers and plating layers, respectively, and surfaces of end portions of external electrodes are flat.

Claim (Index 9):
A method of manufacturing a multilayer ceramic electronic component, comprising:\n forming a laminate having first and second surfaces opposing each other, third and fourth surfaces connected to the first and second surfaces and opposing each other, and fifth and sixth surfaces connected to the first and second surfaces, connected to the third and fourth surfaces, and opposing each other, and including a plurality of dielectric layers and a plurality of first and second internal electrodes alternately disposed and exposed through the third and fourth surfaces, respectively, with respective dielectric layers interposed therebetween; forming a conductive layer which extends continuously from the third to fourth surfaces passing through both the first and second surfaces; forming a body by sintering the laminate on which the conductive layer is formed; forming an electrode layer having a plating layer by performing plating on the conductive layer such that the electrode layer extends continuously form the third to fourth surfaces passing through both the first and second surfaces; and after forming the electrode layer, cutting the electrode layer using a laser beam to separate the electrode layer into first and second external electrodes of which cut surfaces of end portions are formed to be flat.
