Abstract
The ATLAS SemiConductor Tracker (SCT) will consist of a barrel and two endcap parts equipped with modules made from single-sided p-on-n silicon microstrip detectors. The detectors are mounted back-to-back, with a 40 mrad stereo angle, on a support structure, the spine, and readout in binary mode by custom made ASICs. For the modules of the endcap part of the SCT, the detectors are glued to a graphite support structure and the ASICs are mounted on a double-sided hybrid produced from a six layer copper/kapton flex. From mid-2003 the mass production of 1976 SCT end-cap modules has been started at various production sites. I will report on the experiences and problems during the production at the Max-Planck Institute for Physics (MPI). This includes mechanical and electrical issues as well as results on quality assurance.
