The SVX vertex detector has been very successful in heavy flavor physics at CDF, playing a significant role in both top and bottom analyses. SVX′, a radiation hard version of SVX, is presently taking data. In 1998 the Main Injector upgrade to the accelerator complex at Fermilab will provide a significant increase in luminosity, and will require a new vertex detector, SVX II. The specifications and design considerations for this detector are discussed.
