Layered perovskites are an emerging attractive two-dimensional (2D) system with enhanced stability to ambient conditions as opposed to their highly unstable 3D counterpart. Their uniquely tuneable optical and electrical properties are underpinning a surge of interest in 2D-photovoltaics. So far, the development of nano-scale integrated opto-electronic 2D perovskite devices remains nearly unexplored since they have generally been found to be incompatible with standard top-down semiconductor nano-fabrication technologies. Here, I will review recent advances on the top-down fabrication in ambient conditions of transistors and photodetectors down to the nanoscale based on 2D-fluorinated phenethylammonium lead iodide perovskite. I will show that the figures of merit of the photodetectors based on this material rival commercial Si technologies, underpinning applications across healthcare and environmental sensing. Finally, I will discuss the role of defects on the performance of these devices, and a novel method for their in-situ characterization.
