In order to fully exploit the physics potential of a e+e- linear collider,
such as TESLA, a Vertex Tracker providing high resolution track reconstruction
is required. Hybrid Silicon pixel sensors are an attractive sensor technology
option due to their read-out speed and radiation hardness, favoured in the high
rate TESLA environment, but have been so far limited by the achievable single
point space resolution. A novel layout of pixel detectors with interleaved
cells to improve their spatial resolution is introduced and the results of the
characterisation of a first set of test structures are discussed. In this note,
a conceptual design of the TESLA Vertex Tracker, based on hybrid pixel sensors
is presentedComment: 20 pages, 11 figure
