The proposed system will consist of two interconnected gloveboxes, which will house a spin-coater, a bar-coater, a thermal evaporator and a vacuum oven, which combined, will enable solution-deposition of metal halide films and necessary post-deposition procedures needed for device fabrication. A spectroscopic characterization platform will be connected to this system for acquisition of absorption and emission spectra during and after film fabrication. For detailed post-fabrication assessment of the films and devices produced, a microscope equipped with an electroluminescence apparatus to visualize the quality of the devices will be provided. A basic current\/voltage measurement kit will, in addition, be included for rapid device screening. This kit will include an optical fibre allowing monochromatic and white-light irradiation, and a current\/voltage meter. The capabilities will provide the STAMI team with a platform to obtain rapid feedback on thin-film formation and device inhomogeneities in a wide variety of metal-halide perovksite systems studied within current (and future) DoD projects at Georgia Tech.
