US Patent 11170936 Multilayer ceramic capacitor and method of manufacturing the same

A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a ceramic body including a dielectric layer, a plurality of internal electrodes disposed in the ceramic body, and a first side margin portion and a second side margin portion respectively arranged on end portions of the internal electrodes exposed from first and second surfaces. The first and second side margin portions respectively include a first region adjacent to an outer side surface of each of the side margin portions, and a second region adjacent to the internal electrodes exposed from the first and second surfaces. The number of pores per unit area in the second region is less than the number of pores per unit area in the first region.
