Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There are provided a multilayer ceramic electronic component and a manufacturing method thereof, the multilayer ceramic electronic component including: a ceramic body including dielectric layers; a plurality of internal electrodes facing each other with the dielectric layer interposed therebetween; and external electrodes electrically connected to the internal electrodes, wherein a thickness to of the internal electrode satisfies 0.1 μm≦Te≦0.5 μm, and when, in a cross-section of the ceramic body taken in length and thickness directions, cut through a central portion of the ceramic body in a width direction, a distance, in the length direction, of a central portion of an internal electrode grain closest to a disconnected portion of the internal electrode is denoted by Tc, and a distance, in the length direction, of the internal electrode grain at a point equal to 25% of the thickness thereof above or below the central portion thereof is denoted by Tl, 0.7≦Tl/Tc≦1.3 is satisfied.
