Abstract

Samples of the monolithic silicon pixel ASIC prototypeproduced in 2022 within the framework of the Horizon 2020 MONOLITHERC Advanced project were irradiated with 70 MeV protons up to afluence of1 ×10$^{16}$ n$_{eq}$/cm$^{2}$, and then tested using a beam of120 GeV/c pions. The ASIC contains a matrix of 100 μm pitchhexagonal pixels, read out by low noise and very fast frontendelectronics produced in a 130 nm SiGe BiCMOS technology process.The dependence on the proton fluence of the efficiency and the timeresolution of this prototype was measured with the frontendelectronics operated at a power density between 0.13 and0.9 W/cm$^{2}$. The testbeam data show that the detection efficiencyof 99.96% measured at sensor bias voltage of 200 V beforeirradiation becomes 96.2% after a fluence of1 ×10$^{16}$ n$_{eq}$/cm$^{2}$. An increase of the sensor biasvoltage to 300 V provides an efficiency to 99.7% at that protonfluence. The timing resolution of 20 ps measured beforeirradiation rises for a proton fluence of1 ×10$^{16}$ n$_{eq}$/cm$^{2}$ to 53 and 45 ps at HV = 200and 300 V, respectively.
