  • Patent number: 11721483
    Abstract: A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes: a multilayer structure having a parallelepiped shape in which each of a plurality of dielectric layers and each of a plurality of internal electrode layers are alternately stacked and are alternately exposed to two edge faces of the multilayer structure, a main component of the plurality of dielectric layers being a ceramic; and a first cover layer and a second cover layer that sandwich the multilayer structure in a stacking direction of the multilayer structure, a main component of the first cover layer and the second cover layer being the same as that of the dielectric layers, wherein the first cover layer includes a first region spaced from the multilayer structure by at least 50 ?m, is thicker than the second cover layer, and has a thickness more than 50 ?m.

  • Patent number: 11437195
    Abstract: A multilayer ceramic electronic component includes a ceramic main body including a functional part in which first internal electrodes and second internal electrodes are laminated in a vertical direction, end margin parts provided respectively between a first end surface of the ceramic main body and the second internal electrodes and between a second end surface of the ceramic main body and the first internal electrodes, and side margin parts that respectively cover the functional part from sides. The electronic component further includes external electrodes respectively provided on the first end surface and the second end surface. The end margin parts contain boron (B), and the side margin parts contain silicon (Si) and boron. A concentration of boron in the side margin parts is less than a concentration of boron in the end margin parts.
