Fredrik Martinsen


Fredrik is a PhD candidate working on the refining of silicon microstructures for solar cell applications. Microprobe studies such as that shown at the right elucidate the transport and segregation of impurities.
The same chemistry used for refining allows the production of silicon microwires by fiber drawing techniques, and he is making solar cells from these materials.

Masters students

In 2014-2015, Ben Smeltzer is performing calculations and measurement of microwire array absorption, Henrik Bjørklund is working on semiconductor microwire contacts and David Coucheron is studying SiGe alloy microwires. In 2013-2014, Kyle LaPointe worked on fabrication and characterization of silicon microwires. In 2012-2013, Andrew Dibbs worked on silicon microwires, Torstein Nesse measured the optical response of micromagnetic rings, Andreas Eraker characterized silicon microwire waveguides and Mona Karbaschi developed a technique for detecting sawing damage in silicon wafers.
