Status of the mechanical design of the CBM MVD

Institut für Kernphysik, Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt am Main For the design of the Micro Vertex Detector (MVD) for the CBM experiment we are following two approaches. The first approach uses advanced technologies regarding sensor integration and interconnections. The second one is a more conventional approach with well definded building blocks (sensor, carrier, cooling, read-out cables, FEE), which however incooperates advanced materials and concepts under the aspects of minimising the material budget as well as vacuum operation. The latter will be discussed here.
