Dr. Chan and researchers highlight flexible transistors are the building blocks of next-generation soft electronics. Among all the reported material systems that can be fabricated by researchers, such as circuits, biosensors, stretchable displays, and others,1–5 small molecular weight organic semiconductors are among the most promising candidates for flexible transistor applications. For these small molecular weight organic semiconductors, the semiconductor forming the conductive channel dominates the device performance.
