Abstract
The SVX vertex detector has been very successful in heavy flavor physi cs at CDF, playing a significant role in both top and bottom analyses. SVX', a radiation hard version of SVX, is presently taking data. In 1 998 the Main Injector upgrade to the accelerator complex at Fermilab w ill provide a significant increase in luminosity, and will require a n ew vertex detector, SVX II. The specifications and design consideratio ns for this detector are discussed.
