Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) with ideal behavior are highly desired, because nonideal devices may overestimate the intrinsic property and yield inferior performance in applications. In reality, most polymer OTFTs reported literature do not exhibit characteristics. Supported by a structure-property relationship study of several low-disorder conjugated polymers, here, we present an empirical selection rule for candidates textbook-like high reliability factors (100% transistors). The...

Abstract Ternary chalcogenides have emerged as potential candidates for ultrathin photovoltaics, and NaBiS 2 nanocrystals (NCs) gained appeal because of their months‐long phase‐stability in air, high absorption coefficients >10 5 cm −1 , a pseudo‐direct bandgap 1.4 eV. However, previous investigations into NCs used long‐chain organic ligands separating individual during synthesis, which severely limits macroscopic charge‐carrier transport.

Recent reports highlight the potential of tin-based perovskite semiconductors for high-performance p-type field-effect transistors (FETs) with mobilities exceeding 20 cm2V-1s-1. However, these high mobilities--often obtained via two-probe (2P) methods on devices small channel length-to-width ratios (L/W < 0.5) operating in saturation regime at drain-source currents--raise concerns about overestimation due to contact resistance and non-ideal FET characteristics. Here, we performed gated...
