Abstract: A multilayer electronic component includes a body including a dielectric layer and internal electrodes alternately disposed with the dielectric layer in a first direction, and a cover portion disposed on end surfaces of the capacitance forming portion; and an external electrode disposed on the body, wherein a ratio of an average content of zirconium (Zr) included in the capacitance forming portion to an average content of zirconium (Zr) included in the cover portion satisfies 0.55 or more and 1.00 or less, wherein an average content of zirconium (Zr) included in the capacitance forming portion satisfies 1073 ppm or more and 1950 ppm or less, and wherein an average size of the dielectric grains included in a central region of the capacitance forming portion is 200 nm or more and 300 nm or less, and a standard deviation for a size is 100 nm or more and 130 nm or less.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a dielectric slurry, includes supplying a dielectric slurry including dielectric particles and a solvent to a slurry supply module, dispersing the dielectric slurry by inserting the dielectric slurry into a particle dispersing module, classifying the dielectric particles according to particle size by inserting the dispersed dielectric slurry into a classifying module, recovering at least a portion of the dielectric particles to the slurry supply module, and redispersing the dielectric slurry including the dielectric particles recovered to the slurry supply module to the particle dispersing module.

Abstract: A multilayer ceramic electronic component includes: a ceramic body including an active portion having dielectric layers and first and second internal electrodes and first and second cover portions disposed on opposite surfaces of the active portion in a stacking direction, respectively; wherein when a region of the cover portion in contact with the first or second internal electrode is an inner region of the cover portion and a region of the active portion in contact with the inner region of the cover portion is an outer region of the active portion, 1.00<XA/XB?1.04 in which XA/XB is a ratio of a molar ratio (XA) of barium (Ba) to titanium (Ti) in the inner region of the cover portion to a molar ratio (XB) of barium (Ba) to titanium (Ti) in the outer region of the active portion.
