Vacuum-based technologies have proven to be a promising route for industrial scale production of perovskite photovoltaics, but performance is still lagging behind its solution-based counterparts. Currently, vapor-based methods such as co-evaporation struggle to grow complex perovskites (6 or more elements), being limited by the number of sources available and the ability to control them. This further limits the ability of many vacuum-based processes to introduce passivating or stabilizing agents. In particular, these are needed for the synthesis of high-efficiency low-bandgap materials (e.g. Sn/Pb) needed for perovskite-perovskite tandems or silicon-perovskite tandems.We will report on the progress on vapor phase deposited perovskites, including novel low vacuum based deposition methods such as close space sublimation. Using substrate configuration we optimize the incoupling of sunlight which leads to current densities very close to the detailed balance limit. We have prepared semi-transparent with varying perovskite thickness allowing for their use in building integrated PV as well as for bi-facial solar cells.
