High‐Mobility Field‐Effect Transistors Fabricated with Macroscopic Aligned Semiconducting Polymers

A record high OFET hole mobility, as high as 23.7 cm(2) /Vs, is achieved in macroscopic aligned semiconducting polymers. The high mobility is insensitive to the polymer molecular weight. Polymer chains are aligned along the fiber to facilitate intrachain charge transport.
