Abstract

Polycrystalline films of organo-inorganic perovskite semiconductors are promising as a foundation for creating functional optical metasurfaces. The requirements for film structural perfection, thickness uniformity, and defect-free characteristics are much more stringent compared to perovskite films for photovoltaics. This work presents the results of searching for optimal conditions for one-step synthesis of lead methylammonium bromide films using centrifugation, and describes the successful fabrication of subwavelength optical gratings from these films through focused ion beam processing. The measured spectra of light transmission through the gratings demonstrated their excellent optical quality and confirmed the possibility of creating semiconductor photon metasurfaces with submicrometer periodicity and high-Q dielectric resonances.
