In this study, the feasible test for the mechanical property characterization of $BaTiO_3$ ceramics and multi-layer ceramic capacitor(MLCC) was performed with nanoindentation technique. In case of $BaTiO_3$ ceramics, hardness and elastic modulus are dependent on the densification of specimen showing the highest hardness and elastic modulus values of 12.3 GPa and 155 GPa, respectively at $1260^{circ}C$. In case of MLCC chip, hardness of dielectric layer was lower than that of margin region. The nanoindentation method could be useful tool for the measurement of mechanical property within $BaTiO_3$ dielectric layer of very thin thickness in high capacitance MLCC.
