We report on the experimental study made on a successive prototype of High-Voltage CMOS (HV-CMOS) ATLASPix2 sensor for the tracking detector application, developed with 180 nm feature size. These sensors are to qualify mainly the peripheral data processing blocks (e.g. Command Decoder, Trigger Buffer, etc.). It is a smaller version of 24 X 36 pixelated sensor in comparison to the earlier generation of ATLASPix1 fabricated in both ams AG, Austria, and TSI Semiconductors, USA. While ams produced ATLASPix2 showed breakdown voltage 50 V in nonirradiated condition as it was seen on its predecessors ATLASpix1, TSI produced prototypes reported breakdown voltage greater than 100 V. The chosen wafer of MCz 20 Ohm.cm P-type substrate resistivity can deplete a few tenths of um, where the process-driven surface damage can have a greater impact on device operating conditions before and after irradiation. In an aim to understand device intrinsic performance at the irradiated case, a dedicated neutron irradiation campaign has been made at JSI for different fluences. Characterizations have been performed at different temperatures after irradiation to analyze the leakage current and breakdown voltage before and after irradiation. TSI prototypes showed a breakdown voltage decrease 90 V due to impact ionization and enhanced effective doping concentration. Results demonstrated for the neutron-irradiated devices up to the fluence of 2 X 10^15 neq/cm2 can still safely be operated at a voltage high enough to allow for high efficiency. Accelerated Annealing steps also made on selective irradiated ATLASPix2 samples, equivalent to more than two years of room-temperature annealing (at 20 degC), and they showed the reassuring expected breakdown voltage increase and damage constant rate alpha^* (geometry dependent) decrease, driven by the beneficial annealing.

High-Voltage Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (HV-MAPS) based on the 180 nm HV-CMOS process have been proposed to realize thin, fast and highly integrated pixel sensors. The MuPix7 prototype, fabricated in the commercial AMS H18 process, features a fu lly integrated on-chip readout, i.e. hit-digitization, zero suppression and data serialization. It is the first fully monolithic HV-CMOS pixel sensor that has been tested for the use in high irradiation environments like HL-LHC. We present results from laboratory and test beam measurements of MuPix7 prototypes irradiated with neutrons (up to $5.0cdot10^{15}{,rm{n}_{rm{eq}}/cm^2}$) and protons (up to $7.8cdot 10^{15} ,rm{protons}/cm^2$) and compare the performance with non-irradiated sensors. Efficiencies well above 90 % at noise rates below 200 Hz per pixel are measured. A time resolution better than 22 ns is measured for all tested settings and sensors, even at the highest irradiation fluences. The data transmission at 1.25 Gbit/s and the on-chip PLL remain fully functional.
Monolithic active pixel sensors produced in High Voltage CMOS (HV-CMOS) technology are being considered for High Energy Physics applications due to the ease of production and the reduced costs. Such technology is especially appealing when large areas to be covered and material budget are concerned. This is the case of the outermost pixel layers of the future ATLAS tracking detector for the HL-LHC. For experiments at hadron colliders, radiation hardness is a key requirement which is not fulfilled by standard CMOS sensor designs that collect charge by diffusion. This issue has been addressed by depleted active pixel sensors in which electronics are embedded into a large deep implantation ensuring uniform charge collection by drift. Very first small prototypes of hybrid depleted active pixel sensors have already shown a radiation hardness compatible with the ATLAS requirements. Nevertheless, to compete with the present hybrid solutions a further reduction in costs achievable by a fully monolithic design is desirable. The H35DEMO is a large electrode full reticle demonstrator chip produced in AMS 350 nm HV-CMOS technology by the collaboration of Karlsruher Institut fur Technologie (KIT), Institut de Fisica dAltes Energies (IFAE), University of Liverpool and University of Geneva. It includes two large monolithic pixel matrices which can be operated standalone. One of these two matrices has been characterised at beam test before and after irradiation with protons and neutrons. Results demonstrated the feasibility of producing radiation hard large area fully monolithic pixel sensors in HV-CMOS technology. H35DEMO chips with a substrate resistivity of 200$Omega$ cm irradiated with neutrons showed a radiation hardness up to a fluence of $10^{15}$n$_{eq}$cm$^{-2}$ with a hit efficiency of about 99% and a noise occupancy lower than $10^{-6}$ hits in a LHC bunch crossing of 25ns at 150V.
Conventional CMOS technology operated at cryogenic conditions has recently attracted interest for its uses in low-noise electronics. We present one of the first characterizations of 180 nm CMOS technology at a temperature of 100 mK, extracting I/V ch aracteristics, threshold voltages, and transconductance values, as well as observing their temperature dependence. We find that CMOS devices remain fully operational down to these temperatures, although we observe hysteresis effects in some devices. The measurements described in this paper can be used to inform the future design of CMOS devices intended to be operated in this deep cryogenic regime.
The MuPix7 chip is a monolithic HV-CMOS pixel chip, thinned down to 50 mu m. It provides continuous self-triggered, non-shuttered readout at rates up to 30 Mhits/chip of 3x3 mm^2 active area and a pixel size of 103x80 mu m^2. The hit efficiency depen ds on the chosen working point. Settings with a power consumption of 300 mW/cm^2 allow for a hit efficiency >99.5%. A time resolution of 14.2 ns (Gaussian sigma) is achieved. Latest results from 2016 test beam campaigns are shown.

Depleted Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor (DMAPS) prototypes developed in the TowerJazz 180 nm CMOS imaging process have been designed in the context of the ATLAS upgrade Phase-II at the HL-LHC. The pixel sensors are characterized by a small collection electrode (3 $mu$m) to minimize capacitance, a small pixel size ($36.4times 36.4$ $mu$m), and are produced on high resistivity epitaxial p-type silicon. The design targets a radiation hardness of $1times10^{15}$ 1 MeV n$_{eq}$/cm$^{2}$, compatible with the outermost layer of the ATLAS ITK Pixel detector. This paper presents the results from characterization in particle beam tests of the Mini-MALTA prototype that implements a mask change or an additional implant to address the inefficiencies on the pixel edges. Results show full efficiency after a dose of $1times10^{15}$ 1 MeV n$_{eq}$/cm$^{2}$.
