Fabrication of organo-metal halide perovskite films for solar cells is classified into two methods: solution method and vapor phase method. Among the vapor phase methods, high-efficient perovskite solar cells by dual source vacuum evaporation have been reported [1]. However, it is known that the vapor pressure of methylammonium iodide (MAI) is difficult to control in the vapor phase method. We report here a novel vapor deposition technique based on the hot-wall method to convert two source materials (MAI and PbI2) into perovskite phase. Our equipment is specially designed for direct growth of perovskite films in a vacuum chamber. Using this equipment, we have successfully deposited CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) perovskite films at low substrate temperature of 40°C. In the presentation, structural characterization by X-ray diffraction and surface morphology by AFM on the deposited films will be presented. In addition, a preliminary result of inverted planar heterojunction solar cells using the deposited perovskite films will also be presented.
