Abstract

A capacitor component includes a body including a dielectric layer and first and second internal electrodes, alternately disposed in a first direction, and first and second external electrodes, respectively disposed on opposite end surfaces of the body in a second direction, perpendicular to the first direction in the body. An amorphous second phase is disposed at an interface between the first and second internal electrodes and the dielectric layer, and s/ e is between 0.02 and 0.07, where s is a total length of the amorphous second phase disposed in a boundary line between the first or second internal electrode and the dielectric layer in the second direction and e is a length of the first or second internal electrode in the second direction.
