A multilayer ceramic capacitor including an internal electrode layer, an internal
dielectric layer having a thickness of less than 2 m, and an external dielectric
layer is provided, wherein the internal dielectric layer and external dielectric
layer contain a plurality of dielectric particles, and when assuming that an average
particle diameter of the entire dielectric particles in the internal dielectric
layer is D50a (unit: m), an average particle diameter of the entire dielectric
particles existing at a position being away at least by 5 m from the outermost
internal electrode layer in the thickness direction is D50b (unit: m), a
ratio (D50a/D50b) of the D50a and D50b is y (no unit), standard deviation of a
particle size distribution of the entire dielectric particles in the internal dielectric
layer is (no unit), and a ratio that dielectric particles (coarse particles)
having an average particle diameter of 2.25 times of the D50a exist in the entire
dielectric particles is p (unit: %), the y and x satisfy a relationship of y-0.75x+2.015
and y-0.75x+1.740, the satisfies 0.091 and the p satisfies
p2.85%; by which a TC bias characteristic can be expected to be improved
while maintaining various electric characteristics, particularly a sufficient permittivity,
even when the internal dielectric layer is made thin.
