The increased luminosity of the e(+) e(-) SuperKEKB collider entails challenging detector requirements, namely: low material budget, low power consumption, high precision and efficiency, and a large readout rate. The DEPFET active pixel technology has shown to be a suitable solution for this purpose. A review of the different aspects of the detector design (sensors, readout ASICS and supplementary infrastructure) and the results of the latest thinned sensor prototypes (50 μm) are described. %K Particle tracking detectors %K Solid state detectors %K Particle tracking detectors (Solid-state detectors) %R 10.1088/1748-0221/9/03/C03004 %U https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/9/03/C03004 %P C03004 - 11pp
