Solution-processed Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) interlayers in lead halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) present processing challenges due to fast film formation and uncontrolled growth of phases and layer thickness at interfaces. In this work, an alternative, solvent-free, thermal co-evaporation process is developed to deposit RP interlayers. The method provides precise control on interlayer thickness and enables understanding its role on charge-carrier extraction. Studying RP film growth reveals the development of heterointerfaces when deposited on three-dimensional (3D) perovskite layers. This allows a large thickness window with an optimum between 20 nm and 40 nm to improve the optoelectronic properties of the underlying 3D perovskite. Solar cells using evaporated interlayers achieve power conversion efficiency of 21.6%, compared to 19.6% for untreated devices, driven by improvements in the open-circuit voltage and fill factor. This work sheds light on the importance of phase and thickness control of passivation layers, which ultimately determine the solar cell performance in state-of-the-art PSCs
