Description
The ITS (Inner Tracking System) upgrade for the ALICE experiment at the LHC consists of novel monolithic CMOS pixel senosors with a total surface of 10^2. It is foreseen to be installed in the experiment during LS2 in 2019/20. The ITS upgrade encompasses highly advanced industrial technologies, such as CMOS sensor processing, post processing of silicon wafers, custom electronics and precision robotics. This contribution will give and overview of the R&D development carried out with industrial partners in Korea and present the current status of the production as well as an outlook for the future.
