A multi-layer
ceramic capacitor includes: a multi-layer unit including
ceramic layers laminated in a first direction and electrodes disposed between the
ceramic layers, positions of end portions of the electrodes falling within a range of 0.5 μm in a second direction; and side margins each containing
manganese or
magnesium and
silicon and facing each other in the second direction. When each margin is equally divided into an inner region and an outer region, a total concentration of
manganese and
magnesium in the outer region is higher than a total concentration of
manganese and
magnesium in the inner region and higher than a total concentration of manganese and magnesium in the ceramic
layers, and a concentration of
silicon in the inner region is not less than a concentration of
silicon in the outer region and higher than a concentration of silicon in the ceramic layers.
