      abstract     = {Nowadays particle detector technology is taking big steps
                      forwards and new devices dedicated to particle physics show
                      very high performance. Particularly the semi-conductor
                      detectors have advanced significantly and are used for
                      tracking purposes in the A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS (ATLAS)
                      experiment at CERN thanks to their excellent spacial
                      resolution: the compact size of the silicon and its high
                      granularity allow to reach a precision measurement of few
                      tens of microns.This thesis is focused on the upgrade of the
                      ATLAS tracking detector required for the High Luminosity
                      Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC), starting in 2027. The HL-LHC
                      foresees an integrated luminosity of L = 3000 fb$^{−1}$,
                      which comes with an unprecedented rate of proton collisions,
                      with a pile-up of $〈η〉$= 200, and very high radiation
                      doses. As the current inner detector has not been designed
                      for the HL-LHC environmental conditions, an all-silicon
                      Inner Tracker (ITk) will take its place during Phase-II
                      upgrade of the ATLAS experiment.The ITk strip endcap
                      sub-detector is the main topic of this PhD project. The
                      investigation covers the assembly of silicon strip endcap
                      modules and their loading on a local support structure. The
                      building and loading procedures are presented as well as
                      results of quality control (QC) tests carried out on
                      prototyping components to establish their working
                      performance and the fulfillment of the specifications. This
                      work provides the procedure optimization in order to achieve
                      the requirements imposed by the collaboration.Results on
                      prototyping components, such as a fully electrical module
                      and a semi-electrical petal, both built and tested at DESY,
                      are presented. They are followed by tests on an electrical
                      petal performed at low temperature with the evaporative
                      CO$_{2}$ cooling technique. The QC tests carried out on all
                      prototypes have demonstrated that they have been properly
                      assembled and are fully functional. Moreover they fulfill
                      the respective requirements validating therefore the
                      components design and the building methods.},
