Abstract:
A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a ceramic body with first and second internal electrodes facing each other and dielectric layers interposed therebetween. First and second external electrodes are on external surfaces of the ceramic body and electrically connected to the first and second internal electrodes, respectively. A dielectric layer includes dielectric grains including, respectively, first regions in which dysprosium (Dy) is not present and second regions surrounding the first regions. Where a shortest distance between boundaries of the first regions (in which dysprosium (Dy) is not present) of two of the dielectric grains is “L,” the concentration of dysprosium (Dy) in a region within ±0.2L from a halfway point between the boundaries is lower than that of dysprosium (Dy) in the second regions.

Claim (Index 20):
A multilayer ceramic capacitor, comprising:\n a plurality of first and second internal electrodes alternately stacked, in a stacking direction, with dielectric layers interposed therebetween, wherein, in a cross-section of the multilayer ceramic capacitor taken substantially parallel to the stacking direction:\n a dielectric layer between first and second internal electrodes includes anon-grain region directly between a first dielectric grain and a second dielectric grain, \n the first and second dielectric grains each have outer peripheries with dysprosium (Dy), where a minimum concentration of dysprosium (Dy) in the outer peripheries is a first concentration, \n the first and second dielectric grains each have cores that are essentially free of dysprosium (Dy), \n the non-grain region includes a point where a minimum concentration of dysprosium (Dy) is less than the first concentration, \n the point is located along a shortest line between the cores of the first and second dielectric grains, and \n the point is located no closer to either of the first and second dielectric grains than 30% of a distance of the shortest line.
