ATLAS is currently preparing for the HL-LHC, with an all-silicon Inner Tracker (ITk) that will
replace the current Inner Detector. The ITk will feature a pixel detector surrounded by a strip
detector, with the strip system consisting of 4 barrel layers and 6 endcap disks per side. After
completion of final design reviews in key areas, such as Sensors, Modules, Front-End electronics
and ASICs, a large scale prototyping program has been completed in all areas successfully. An
overview of the Strip System is presented here, highlighting the final design choices of sensors,
module designs and ASICs. In this article, results achieved during prototyping and the current
status of production and pre-production on various detector components are summarized, with an
emphasis on QA and QC procedures.
