The ITS3 upgrade of the ALICE experiment at the LHC introduces curved, ultra-thin silicon sensors in cylindrical geometries, reducing material and enhancing tracking. A key innovation is the use of a 65 nm CMOS technology. This thesis focuses on the characterisation, as well as simulations studies, of a 65 nm prototype through lab and beam tests, analysing charge collection, efficiency, and radiation tolerance. Findings validate the technology for ITS3 and future high-energy physics applications.
