Abstract

The present invention makes it possible to rapidly deposit perovskite crystals while suppressing a decline in smoothness of a perovskite crystalline film. A perovskite crystal deposition apparatus comprises: a base body stage on which a base body is to be placed; a blade which is disposed so as to face the surface of the base body such that a gap is formed therebetween when the base body is placed on the base body stage; and a gas supply member that sprays a gas at a pressure of 0.3-0.6 MPa, a temperature of 25-200° C., and a flow rate of 30-40 L/min onto the surface of the base body With the deposition apparatus, a perovskite crystalline layer is obtained by spraying a gas from the gas supply member onto a precursor film that has been obtained by spreading a precursor solution of perovskite crystals on the base body using the blade.
