[en] The inner detectors of LHC experiments will contain pixel detectors covering an area of several square meters. In addition they are facing the harsh radiation environment of the LHC. A first prototype sensor has been designed according to the requirements of the ATLAS experiment, produced and successfully tested with static measurements. Irradiation tests have also been performed with excellent results. The sensor is an n⁺ n-device in order to allow partial depleted operation after bulk inversion and a guard ring scheme keeping the entire detector surface close to the electronic chip on ground potential. Further, a bias structure is introduced providing testability of the sensors prior to bump bonding and flip chipping
