The characterization of detector prototypes has proven that the key principle, the integration of a first amplification stage in a detector-grade sensor material, can provide a comfortable signal to noise ratio of over 40 for a sensor thickness of 50-75 $\mu$m. ASICs have been designed and produced to operate a DEPFET pixel detector with the required read-out speed. A complete detector concept is being developed, including solutions for mechanical support, cooling, and services. In this paper, the status of the DEPFET R {\&} D project is reviewed in the light of the requirements of the vertex detector at a future linear e(+)e(-) collider.", optnote="WOS:000320856800029", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1489), last updated on Tue, 09 Apr 2019 14:24:21 +0000", issn="0018-9499", doi="10.1109/TNS.2013.2245680", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1212.2160", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1109/TNS.2013.2245680", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1212.2160", language="English" }
