High‐Performance Ambipolar Transistors and Inverters from an Ultralow Bandgap Polymer

High mobility ambipolor organic thin-film transistors based on an ultralow bandgap polymer are presented together with their morphological and optical properties. Hole and electron mobilities of this polymer are of 1.0 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) and 0.7 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1), respectively. The inverter based on two identical ambipolar transistors exhibits a gain around 35.
