The deposition of thin films of metal oxides usually employs harsh conditions that are frequently harmful to the soft organic underlayers [1]. In this presentation, we will demonstrate successful uses of an industrial scale pulsed laser deposition (PLD) tool to directly deposit nickel(II) or tin(IV) oxides for hole or electron transport layers, respectivelly, as well as indium tin oxide (ITO) or aluminum zinc oxide (AZO) for topelectrodes, on efficient vacuum-deposited perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with no damage to the device stack underneath. The morphological, electronic and optical characteristics of thin films are tunned according to the pld chamber pressure [2]; we will demonstrate how to operate the PLD under intermediate pressures to produce soft films with low resistivity on PSCs exceeding 18% in power conversion efficiencies (with archetypal MAPbI3 or even wider or narrower bandgap perovskites, either in pin or nip configurations), with no losses in short circuit current and fill factor.
