Abstract
Abstract A laminated ceramic capacitor comprises a plurality of inner electrode layers for developing a capacitance, dielectric layers sandwiched with the inner electrode layers, and a pair of outer electrodes coupled to their associated inner electrode layers for output of the capacitance. The inner electrode layers are made of Ni. The dielectric layers are made of a dielectric ceramic composition having a structural formula of: {Bam(Til-xZrx)O2+m}1- alpha - beta -{MnO2} alpha -{X} beta where X is at least one of Yb2O3, Dy2O3, and ThO2 and m, x, alpha , and beta are expressed as: 0.98</=m</=1.02 0</=x</=0.2 0.005</= alpha </=0.05 0.001</= beta </=0.02 so that the laminated ceramic capacitor can be minimized in the size, increased in the capacitance, and reduced in the cost of production.
