Microelectronic design is used to develop tools in the High Energy Physics (HEP) field to study the smallest constituents of matter in particle detectors. The choice of a technology to develop a detector, and the architecture, for a fast, low noise and compact readout (Front-End Readout Board), are defined by the experiment to be studied. A description of the last developments for the KEK-B experiment semiconductor tracker, where MAPS has been the technological option chosen, will be done.
