Abstract
These lectures review silicon strip detectors and their use in high energy physics experiments. The principles of operation, their performance, the effect of radiation damage, methods of fabrication, their construction into silicon detector modules, their read-out electronics and their usage in current experiments are described. In addition a short discussion of other types of silicon detectors is included.
