Abstract:
A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a multilayer body that includes ceramic layers and inner conductor layers arranged in a stacking direction and that includes a first surface in which the inner conductor layers are exposed, and an outer electrode on the first surface of the multilayer body. The inner conductor layers contain Ni. The outer electrode includes a base layer that directly covers at least a portion of the first surface and is connected to the inner conductor layers. The base layer contains a metal and glass and includes a Ni diffusion portion connected to the inner conductor layers, the Ni diffusion portion containing Ni. A ratio of a diffusion depth of the Ni diffusion portion to a thickness of the base layer is smaller on two of the inner conductor layers that are located outermost than on other inner conductor layers.

Abstract:
A multilayer ceramic capacitor contains Ni in internal electrodes, and includes a sintered metal layer containing Cu in external electrodes. At a joined portion between each internal electrode and each external electrode, mutual diffusion layers of Cu and Ni extend across the internal and external electrodes. On each internal electrode, a mutual diffusion layer is present with a thickness t1, which is defined by a dimension from a first end surface or a second end surface to an interior end in a longitudinal direction, not smaller than about 0.5 μm and not greater than about 5 μm. On each external electrode, a mutual diffusion layer is present with a thickness t2, which is defined by a dimension from the first end surface or the second end surface to an exterior end in the longitudinal direction, not smaller than about 2.5% and not greater than about 33.3% of a thickness t0 of a sintered metal layer.

External electrodes, electrically connected to exposed portions of internal electrodes, are arranged on end surfaces of a ceramic main body of a laminated ceramic capacitor. Alloy layers of a metal contained in internal electrodes, and a metal contained in external electrodes, are arranged at the boundaries between external electrodes, and the ceramic main body and internal electrodes. Plating layers are provided on surfaces of external electrodes. A ceramic electronic component having a reduced ESR is thus provided.

A portion of each of the first and second external electrodes is opposed in the thickness direction to a region where the first and second internal electrodes are opposed to each other in the thickness direction. A condition ( 1/10)t0≦t1 ≦(⅖)t0 is satisfied, where to is the thickness of each of the first and second external electrodes and t1 is the thickness of a portion in which each of the first and second external electrodes is embedded in the first major surface.

The metal powder particles include first metal powder particles and second metal powder particles. The first metal powder particles are flat or substantially flat powder particles. The second metal powder particles are spherical or substantially spherical powder particles.

The internal electrodes project from the surface of the ceramic body into the glass coating layer without passing through the glass coating layer. The metal powder particles define conduction paths electrically connecting the internal electrodes with the electrode terminal.
