Abstract

A thin-film capacitor that is less prone to generation of internal cracking or peeling is provided. In a thin-film capacitor according to the present embodiment, because through holes H are formed in internal electrodes containing Ni as a principal component in a lamination direction, a surface area of at least some of the through holes H is in the range of 0.19 μm2 to 7.0 μm2, and a ratio of a surface area of the through holes H to a surface area of an entire main surface of the internal electrodes is in the range of 0.05% to 5%, peeling or cracking is suppressed from occurring at the boundaries between the internal electrodes and dielectric layers, and as a result, the yield is enhanced.
