Description

This lecture will consider the significant advances which have been made in the application of silicon detectors to high energy physics in the last 30 years. We will survey some of the basic principles and then consider how progress in electronics, materials, mechanics, and the control of radiation effects have enabled the present (and future) generation of large silicon strip and pixel trackers.
