Abstract
Slot-die coating enables scalable manufacturing of perovskite thin films, yet process reproducibility is limited by insufficient in-line feedback during drying and gas quenching. Here, in-line spectral reflectance and photoluminescence metrologies are integrated into a slot-die coating process to monitor wet film thinning, solvent evaporation, and crystallization in real time. Systematic variation of gas-quenching delay reveals a strong impact on thinning rates and final dry film thickness. A rapid thickness collapse upon quenching is observed, while photoluminescence emerges only after near-complete solvent removal. Correlation with ex-situ profilometry confirms the predictive capability of the in-line approach, demonstrating its relevance for scalable perovskite manufacturing and future closed-loop process control.
