Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing a multilayered ceramic capacitor by a spin coating process, and a multilayered ceramic capacitor obtained by the above method. The method of the current invention provides a plurality of dielectric layers formed by spin coating, in which the process of coating the dielectric layer and the process of printing the inner electrode can be provided as a single process. Therefore, the thickness of the dielectric layer is easily controlled while the dielectric layer is formed to be thin. Further, since the dielectric layers and the inner electrodes are formed successively, the processes of separating and layering the dielectric layers, and the process of compressing the ceramic multilayered body can be omitted. Thereby, the ceramic multilayered body need not be compressed, and thus, a pillowing phenomenon does not occur in the multilayered ceramic capacitor.
