The increasing need of high performance flavour tagging capabilities in particle physics experiments has triggered the development of a novel fully integrated silicon pixel detector, called Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor (i.e. MAPS). Similar to CMOS visible light imagers, the first MAPS prototypes adapted to the detection of minimum ionising particles (i.e. mip) were designed and fabricated in standard CMOS technology. Their tests with relativistic charged particles demonstrate that the sensors detect mips with very high efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio and provide excellent spatial resolution. The main aspects of these results, which establish the adequacy of the technology for charged particle tracking, are summarised in this paper, together with preliminary results on its radiation hardness. An outlook on the R&D started to provide fully integrated building blocks of future vertex detectors is also provided.
