Vapor phase deposition of organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells is raising increasing interest in both academia and industry, holding great promise for the commercialization of perovskite-based photovoltaics. Despite the dominance of vapor phase deposition processes in commercial thin film manufacturing of photovoltaics and other optoelectronic applications, research on vapor phase processed PSCs is still underrepresented compared to their solution-based counterparts. Solution-processed PSCs still dominate the field, benefiting from fast optimization feedback and straightforward integration in modern research laboratories. This contribution will present a recent perspective that coveys a balanced viewpoint of industry and academics on the prospects of vapor phase deposition of perovskite photovoltaics. The perspective highlights strategic opportunities of vapor phase deposition for the commercialization of perovskite-based PV. In addition, the latest developments at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology on vapor phase deposited perovskite thin films for perovskite solar cells and perovskite/Si tandem solar cells will be presented.
