Abstract: A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a first internal electrode, a second internal electrode, a first dielectric layer, and a second dielectric layer. The first internal electrode includes a first outer peripheral portion and a first inner electrode portion inside the first outer peripheral portion. The second internal electrode includes a second outer peripheral portion and a second inner electrode portion inside the second outer peripheral portion. The first dielectric layer includes a first high dielectric constant portion, and a first inner dielectric layer portion inside the first high dielectric constant portion. The second dielectric layer include a second high dielectric constant portion and a second inner dielectric layer portion inside the second high dielectric constant portion.

Abstract: A multilayer ceramic electronic component includes a multilayer body including ceramic layers and internal conductive layers and a pair of external electrodes on both ends of the multilayer body in a length direction. The internal conductive layers include first internal conductive layers and second internal conductive layers. The pair of external electrodes include a first external electrode including a first base electrode layer connected to the first internal conductive layer, and a second external electrode including a second base electrode layer connected to the second internal conductive layer. The first and second base electrode layers each include a metal portion and non-metal portions in the metal portion. In a cross-sectional view perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to a width direction, an average area of non-metal portions in a first population of non-metal portions each with a circularity about 0.4 or less is about 12 ?m2 or less.
