    The production of D*+-(2010) mesons in deep inelastic scattering
    has been studied with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated
    luminosity of approximately 100 pb-1. The decay channel D*+ -> D0 pi+
    with D0 -> K-pi+ (+c.c.) was  used to identify D* mesons.
    Differential D* cross sections as a function of Q^2 and Bjorken x 
    were measured for Q^2>10 GeV^2. The increase in luminosity 
    with respect to previous measurements allows an extension of the 
    kinematic range to larger Q^2 and x. The data are compared to NLO QCD 
    calculations and to several LO Monte Carlo models.
