The CDFII silicon tracking system, SVX, for Run II of the
Fermilab Tevatron has up to 8 cylindricals layers with average radii
spanning from ~(1.5 to 28.7) cm, and lengths ranging from ~(90 to 200) cm
for a total active-area of ~6 m2 and ~ 7.2 x 105 readout channels. SVX
will improve the CDFII acceptance and efficiency for both B and high-Pt
physics dependent upon b-tagging. Along with the description of the SVX we
report some alignment survey data from the SVX assembly phase and the actual
status of the alignment as it results from the offline data analysis. The
problems encountered are also reviewed.
