Sensitive Flexible Magnetic Sensors using Organic Transistors with Magnetic‐Functionalized Suspended Gate Electrodes

Utilizing a magnetic-functionalized suspended gate with combined features of outstanding conductivity, flexibility, and magnetic properties, flexible magnetic sensor based on an organic field-effect transistor (OFET), with a high sensitivity of 115.2% mT(-1) is demonstrated. Gate engineering enables the sensing devices to possess promising applications for flexible touchless switches and spatiallyresolved magnetic-imaging elements.
