Abstract

MEMS based three- in- one multiple sensor with soil Temperature, soil moisture and humidity sensor proposed using simple cantilever for the agricultural applications. These parameters are the most important parameters for agricultural monitoring to control the usage of water supply to the plants. The study is to find the optimized dimension of the three- in- one multiple MEMS sensor with respect to maximum deflection for the temperature range of 0°C to 40.556°C, relative humidity and the soil moisture range of 10 % to 100%. The dimension is optimized with respect to aspect ratio parameters such as length, width and thickness of different layers.
