Module production for the CMS Tracker: Problems and achieved quality

The construction of the CMS Inner Tracker is nearing completion. The various components are being mounted on the large structures and by the end of 2006 the tracker assembly will be finished at CERN. The basic elements of the strip tracker are the silicon sensor modules. In total about 15,000 modules of various geometries have been built by a large collaboration of institutes. This paper will explain the design and the semi-automatic assembly procedures. The major problems which appeared during this production are discussed. The final section gives an overview of the obtained results.
