Yield, noise and timing studies of ALICE ITS3 stitched sensor test structures: The MOST
/ ALICE Collaboration
In the LHC long shutdown 3, the ALICE experiment upgrades the inner layers of its Inner Tracker System with three layers of wafer-scale stitched sensors bent around the beam pipe. Two stitched sensor evaluation structures, the MOnolithic Stitched Sensor (MOSS) and MOnolithic Stitched Sensor with Timing (MOST) allow the study of yield dependence on circuit density, power supply segmentation, stitching demonstration for power and data transmission, performance dependence on reverse bias, charge collection performance, parameter uniformity across the chip, and performance of wafer-scale data transmission.

Exploring unique design features of the Monolithic Stitched Sensor with Timing (MOST): yield, powering, timing, and sensor reverse bias
/ ALICE Collaboration
Monolithic stitched CMOS sensors are explored for the upgrade of Inner Tracking System of the ALICE experiment (ITS3) and the R&D; of the CERN Experimental Physics Department. To learn about stitching, two 26 cm long stitched sensors, the Monolithic Stitched Sensor (MOSS), and the Monolithic Stitched Sensor with Timing (MOST), were implemented in the Engineering Round 1 (ER1) in the TPSCo 65nm ISC technology.

/ALICE Collaboration
For the LS3 ALICE ITS3 upgrade the detector material budget reduction has been pushed to the limit by proposing a system composed almost exclusively of silicon wafer thinned down to 50μm. This improves performance, but adds complexity to the ASIC design. [...]

Characterisation of analogue MAPS produced in the 65 nm TPSCo process
/ ALICE Collaboration
Within the context of the ALICE ITS3 collaboration, a set of MAPS small-scale test structures were developed using the 65 nm TPSCo CMOS imaging process with the upgrade of the ALICE inner tracking system as its primary focus. One such sensor, the Circuit Exploratoire 65 nm (CE-65), and its evolution the CE-65v2, were developed to explore charge collection properties for varying configurations including collection layer process (standard, blanket, modified with gap), pixel pitch (15, 18, \SI{22.5}{\micro\meter}), and pixel geometry (square vs hexagonal/staggered).
