abstract = {MALTA2 is a depleted monolithic active pixel sensor (DMAPS)
designed for tracking at high rates and typically low
detection threshold of 200e−. Threshold calibration is
crucial to understanding the charge collection in the pixel.
A simple procedure is developed to calibrate the threshold
to unit electrons making use of a dedicated charge injection
circuit and an Fe-55 source with dominant charge deposition
of 1611e−. The injection voltage corresponding to the
signal under exposure of Fe-55 is determined and serves as
the basis for charge calibration. The charge injection
circuit incorporates a capacitance with design value of
Cinj=230aF. Experimentally, the average capacitance value
for non-irradiated samples is found to be Cinj,exp=255±35aF
and varies between sensors by $14\%$ in terms of standard
deviation. The deviation from the design value as well as
among sensors motivates the need for the presented
calibration procedure, which is proposed to be performed for
each MALTA2 sensor and reduces the uncertainty down to $3\%$
depending on the sensor.},
