Dielectric ceramic composition and monolithic ceramic capacitor using the composition
Disclosed is a dielectric ceramic composition containing an essential component represented by the formula, xBaO - yTiO 2  - zRe 2 O 3 , wherein x, y and z are in mol%; x + y + z = 100; and (x, y, z) falls within a polygonal region defined by four points of A (39.5, 59.5, 1), B (1, 59.5, 39.5), C (1, 85, 14) and D (14, 85, 1), and further containing V, Cu and Mn as side components in an amount of about 0.1 wt.% to 15 wt.% in terms of V 2 O 5 , in an amount not greater than 10 wt.% in terms of CuO, and in an amount not greater than 1 wt.% in terms of MnO, respectively, relative to 100 wt.% of the essential component.
