Abstract

An ultimate goal of organic electronics is to fabricate large-area electronic devices and circuits on flexible and stretchable substrates. To achieve this target, understanding and/or tuning of the processes that determine charge transport is therefore of paramount importance for the development of high-performance devices, e.g., organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). Significant progress in this field is summarized here, with particular focus on the new insights of charge transport under certain strain effects in flexible and stretchable OFETs.

Keywords: charge transport; flexible and stretchable devices; organic/polymeric semiconductors.
