TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a multilayer ceramic capacitor, more specifically to a multilayer ceramic capacitor having excellent electric field characteristics.

BACKGROUND

There is a recent trend for multilayer ceramic capacitors to be miniaturized in accordance with the miniaturization, slimming and multi-functionalization of electronic products, and the mounting of multilayer ceramic capacitors is becoming more integrated. Such multilayer ceramic capacitors may be used as components of various electronic devices as they are advantageous in the miniaturized size, secured high capacity and easy mounting thereof.

However, the multilayer ceramic capacitors are easily deformed by external force as internal electrodes and dielectric layers become thinner to obtain high capacity. In particular, when the internal electrodes are bent or deformed, it is highly likely that designed electrical field characteristics may not be implemented.

Accordingly, for commercial application of thin multilayer ceramic capacitors having high capacity, there has been a need to improve structural reliability by providing a structure for multilayer ceramic capacitors which are less likely to be deformed by external force and can secure reliability.

SUMMARY

An aspect of the present disclosure is to provide a multilayer ceramic capacitor, and more specifically, to a multilayer ceramic capacitor having excellent electrical field characteristics and reliability.

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a ceramic body comprising dielectric layers and first and second internal electrodes laminatedly disposed in a third direction with respective dielectric layers interposed therebetween, and first and second surfaces opposing each other in a direction in which the first and second internal electrodes are laminated, third and fourth surfaces connected to the first and second surfaces and opposing each other in a first direction, and fifth and sixth surfaces connected to the first and second surfaces and the third and fourth surfaces and opposing each other in a second direction; and first electrode and second external electrodes disposed on both surfaces of the ceramic body in the first direction, where the first and second external electrodes are connected to the first and second internal electrodes. When an absolute value of a horizontal angle in the second direction of the first internal electrode with respect to the first surface of the ceramic body is referred to a first angle of the internal electrode, a total sum of the first angles is less than 10°.
