3D solid state detectors have very promising characteristics for particle trackers in harsh radiation environments such as the expected after the proposed luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Different 3D technologies, including single- and double- type column and full 3D detectors, are being evaluated by the CERN RD50 collaboration. In this review the most recent work will be presented and discussed.
