First results from the characterization of a three-dimensional deep N-well MAPS prototype for vertexing applications

► First results on the characterization of 3D DNW monolithic sensor. ► Functionality of the analog and digital sections is demonstrated. ► DNW collecting electrode is tested by means of a laser source. ► A non-linear model for charge preamplifier response is discussed. ► Redundant vertical interconnection is shown to work properly.
