Abstract	The paper describes the Silicon Tracking System of the Compact Muon Solenoid ( CMS) and reviews the most recent results of the R&D activity on radiation resistant microstrip silicon detectors. The Silicon Tracker of CMS consists of 5 layers of microstrip detectors in the barrel and 10 disks on either side of the end-cap region. The detectors of the innermost layers ( 22.5 cm radial distance from the beam pipe) are required to operate up to an integrated fluence of 1.6 10 ^14 1-MeV-equivalent neutrons per cm2. The results, obtained with single-sided prototypes irradiated with a neutron fluence up to 2*10^14 n/cm2 in terms of signal-to-noise ratio, efficiency and spatial resolution are described. We also show a comparison between device simulations, laboratory measurements and experimental results. Lastly we describe the complex system prototypes which have been recently built to address the system aspects of such a large silicon tracker.
