Abstract
A multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) includes: a ceramic body having a plurality of dielectric layers, first internal electrodes, and second internal electrodes; and a first external electrode and a second external electrode, disposed on an exterior of the ceramic body. A plurality of via electrodes are disposed in the ceramic body; a first via electrode connects the first internal electrodes to the first external electrode; a second via electrode connects the second internal electrodes to the second external electrode; and the plurality of via electrodes have a stepped shape, and a distance in a length direction from a first vertical edge of each step to a second vertical edge of each step in the plurality of via electrodes is increased in a direction from the substrate toward an upper portion of the ceramic body.
