A laminated ceramic capacitor (10) divided into a first laminate (11), a
second laminate (12), a third laminate (13), and a fourth laminate (14).
The first laminate (11) includes a ceramic layer (15) serving as a
dielectric layer. The ceramic layer (15) is thicker than a ceramic layer
(17) sandwiched between internal electrodes (16a) in the second laminate
(12) or the fourth laminate (14), and thinner than 20 times the thickness
of the ceramic layer (17). The third laminate (13) includes dielectric
layers, which serve as the ceramic layers (17), and has a thickness of 5%
of the total thickness of the second laminate (12) and the fourth
laminate (14). Accordingly, the third laminate (13) achieves the function
of absorbing an electrode-induced thickness differential. Also, by means
of regulating the thickness of the first laminate (11), portions of via
electrodes (18) that extend without being electrically connected to the
internal electrodes (16b) can be shortened.
