Lead and tin halide perovskites are currently under intense investigation for their potential applications in optoelectronics, due to their favorable and adjustable semiconducting properties. One of the key advantages of perovskites lies in their ability to be deposited as thin films using energy-effective techniques, resulting in high-quality semiconductors. Despite the potential for widespread adoption in the industrial sector, vacuum deposition of perovskite films and devices remains a specialized area. Here we will examine the latest developments in the vacuum deposition of perovskite films, focusing on methods to manipulate their morphology and structure. Specifically, we will highlight the impact of factors such as composition, deposition rate, and substrate temperature on properties like luminescence quantum yield and recombination lifetime. Lastly, we will explore the use of multilayer semiconducting structures in single-junction solar cells and photodetectors.
