Abstract

A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes: a ceramic body having laminated dielectric layers having an average thickness of 0.2-2.0 μm; an active layer including first and second internal electrodes alternately exposed through end surfaces of the ceramic body having the dielectric layer interposed therebetween and contributing to capacitance formation; upper and lower cover layers respectively formed above and below the active layer, the lower cover layer being thicker than the upper cover layer; first and second external electrodes covering the end surfaces of the ceramic body, wherein a bottommost internal electrode adjacent to the lower cover layer has an oxide layer formed on at least one of top and bottom surfaces thereof, and when lengths and thicknesses of the bottommost internal electrode and the oxide layer are denoted by ‘L_e,’ ‘t_e’ and ‘L_o,’ ‘t_o’, respectively, in a cross section of the ceramic body taken in length-thickness direction, 50%o/L_e×100 and 30%o/t_e×100<80% are satisfied.
