Abstract

The design and progress in the construction of the DELPHI microvertex detector are presented. The layout is described, together with results on precision mounting of silicon detectors. The development of ac-coupled silicon microstrip detectors was an important contribution to the design. The use of low-power CMOS readout chips facilitates the cooling of the detector. A description of the fourth-generation readout processor for silicon strip detectors, the SIROCCO IV, implemented in FASTBUS, is given. Finally, two complementary systems for in-situ position monitoring of the detectors are described.
