Abstract
Organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs) are a promising cost‐effective alternative to silicon‐based field‐effect transistors, and possess low‐cost, light‐weight, and flexibility advantages. Conjugated polymers based on fused‐thiophene building blocks have received considerable attention in the emerging field of organic electronics. In this review the most recent developments in conjugated polymers based on fused‐thiophene rings for high‐performance OFETs are summarized. The focus is on correlations of polymer chemical structures with properties, such as energy levels, film‐forming property, film morphology, and OFET performance. This structure–property relationship analysis may guide rational structural design and evaluation of organic semiconductors.
