The CMS Inner Tracker Silicon Microstrip Modules: Production and test

The Silicon Microstrip Tracker is a key element for the discovery potential of the CMS detector at LHC. The layout of the Tracker and the main components are described. The status of the construction of the Inner part of the CMS Tracker is reviewed. The construction of such a large scale detector requires an industrial and distributed approach. The procedures followed at each step of the production chain are described and finally the tests performed on this subsystem are shown.
