Finding a reliable and reproducible method to deposit thin films of semiconductors is a huge leap forward in order to fabricate nano-structured solar cells. As the third and forth generation of solar cells are based on semiconductors which are soluble in solvents and can be deposited with solution-based methods, finding a proper printing mechanics can lead to cheap solar panels. In this thesis we have designed and fabricated an apparatus to deposit lead iodide films. These thin films can be used to fabricate perovskite solar cells which are based on methylammonium lead iodide perovskite. We have also investigated different inks consisting of different additives and solvents best suited for...
