What is the difference between monolithic ceramic and mutilayer ceramic capacitors?

Ceramic Multilayer vs Monolithic CapacitorBoth multilayer and monolithic capacitors have multiple layers. The main difference between the two is the manufacturing process. Monolithic capacitors have a paste of ceramic material applied between the conductive layers. After this paste is applied the capacitors are then baked. Multilayer capacitors have the ceramic material sprayed onto the conductive layers. This generally means that monolithic capacitors can't go as high in capacitance because the amount of layers is limited due to their manufacturing process.
