Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In an embodiment, a multilayer ceramic capacitor 10 has a capacitor body comprising a capacitive part 11 a constituted by multiple internal electrode layers 11 a 1 that are stacked with dielectric layers 11 a 2 in between, as well as dielectric cover parts 11 b that respectively cover both sides of the capacitive part 11 a in the stacking direction. Also, the dielectric layers 11 a 2 of the capacitive part 11 a , and the dielectric cover parts 11 b , contain elemental manganese, and the elemental manganese is distributed in such a way that its quantity gradually decreases in the depth direction from the exterior faces of the dielectric cover parts 11 b toward the center of the dielectric layers 11 a 2 of the capacitive part 11 a.
