Description
Vertex detectors at future linear e+e- colliders face unique challenges driven by the need for exceptional spatial resolution (~3 µm) and minimal material budget (<0.15% X₀ per layer) to enable precision flavor tagging. Unlike hadron colliders, radiation levels and background occupancies are modest, but tight constraints on power consumption, cooling, and integration remain critical due to the push for low-mass, high-granularity designs. This contribution reviews the detector requirements, discusses ongoing R&D on advanced pixel technologies, and outlines the design strategies being developed to meet the specific needs of e+e- collider experiments.
