Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a ceramic body including an active portion including dielectric layers and internal electrodes that are alternately stacked and a margin portion disposed on outer surfaces of the active portion; and external electrodes disposed on outer surfaces of the ceramic body. The margin portion includes an inner half adjacent to the active portion and an outer half adjacent to the edge of the ceramic body, and a porosity of the inner half is greater than a porosity of the outer half.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising: a ceramic body including an active portion including dielectric layers and internal electrodes that are alternately stacked and a margin portion disposed on outer surfaces of the active portion; and external electrodes disposed on outer surfaces of the ceramic body, wherein the margin portion includes an inner half adjacent to the active portion and an outer half adjacent to the edge of the ceramic body, and a porosity of the inner half is greater than a porosity of the outer half. 2 . The multilayer ceramic capacitor of claim 1 , wherein the porosity of the inner half is 0.06% to 2.0%, and the porosity of the outer half is 0.05% or less. 3 . The multilayer ceramic capacitor of claim 1 , wherein a size of each pore in the inner half is 0.05 μm to 0.1 μm. 4 . The multilayer ceramic capacitor of claim 1 , wherein a size of each pore in the outer half is 0.015 μm to 0.03 μm. 5 . The multilayer ceramic capacitor of claim 1 , wherein in margin portions disposed on upper and lower surfaces of the active portion, dielectric grains of the inner half and the outer half are different from each other. 6 . A board having a multilayer ceramic capacitor, comprising: a printed circuit board on which a plurality of electrode pads are disposed; and the multilayer ceramic capacitor installed on the printed circuit board, wherein the multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a ceramic body including an active portion including dielectric layers and internal electrodes that are alternately stacked and a margin portion disposed on outer surfaces of the active portion, and external electrodes disposed on outer surfaces of the ceramic body, and the margin portion includes an inner half adjacent to the active portion and an outer half adjacent to the edge of the ceramic body, and a porosity of the inner half is greater than a porosity of the outer half. 7 . The board having a multilayer ceramic capacitor of claim 6 , wherein the porosity of the inner half is 0.06% to 2.0%, and the porosity of the outer half is 0.05% or less. 8 . The board having a multilayer ceramic capacitor of claim 6 , wherein a size of each pore in the inner half is 0.05 μm to 0.1 μm. 9 . The board having a multilayer ceramic capacitor of claim 6 , wherein a size of each pore in the outer half is 0.015 μm to 0.03 μm. 10 . The board having a multilayer ceramic capacitor of claim 6 , wherein in margin portions disposed on upper and lower surfaces of the active portion, sizes of dielectric grains of the inner half and the outer half are different from each other.
