OBJECTIVES
• To detect the heavy metal ions present in water using the designed capacitive
2
INTRODUCTION
• Water pollution due to heavy metal ions is a global issue which requires proper
attention in order to maintain the water quality demand.
• According to experts, 15 million children die each year under the age of five because
of diseases caused by drinking water.

Advantages of capacitive sensing:
• Non-contact sensing
• Less expensive

LITERATURE SURVEY
• The paper dealt with capacitive microcantilever sensor for HMIs detection.
• The microcantilever is made by silicon nitride or polysilicon.
• They have used different lengths and thicknesses for both silicon nitride and
polysilicon
• They have decided that polysilicon cantilever with L=250µm, T=0.5µm is best
for the capacitive sensor to get higher capacitance variation with enough
strength of cantilever beam so that it can take the load of heavy metal ion.

MEMS Based Sensor ”, Materials Today: Proceedings 5, 2018 12
• The SH-SAW sensor was designed and fabricated, with gold on a
piezoelectric substrate and a microfluidic channel was also fabricated.
• The results show the capability of the SH-SAW sensor to detect pico molar
concentrations of Hg and Ni in water.
• The above approach requires the experimental setup which cannot solve the
problem of portability and cost. Moreover, they are used to detect only one
analyte at a time.
