Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) have continually been made smaller in size and larger in capacity in resent years. However, the end termination electrode is still thick in many MLCCs. In this study, we used small grain glass frit to embody thin film and highly densification in the end termination by improve sintering driving force with well-dispersion and rising surface energy. Pastes were fabricated using size changed glass frit, such as 0.1 ${\mu}m$, 0.5 ${\mu}m$, 1.0 ${\mu}m$, 4.0 ${\mu}m$. Fabricated pastes were applied 05A475KQ5 chip and fired various sintering temperatures to analyze sintering behavior of pastes. Consequently, small glass frit used pastes have many merits than larger, such as well-dispersion, improve cornercoverage and surface roughness, possibility of low temperature sintering. However, we confirmed that small glass frit used pastes have narrow sintering window by rapid completion of sintering densification.
