Organic polymer semiconductor materials, due to their unique molecular structure and weak van der Waals interactions, are endowed with the characteristics of soluble processing and easy flexibility, and have potential applications in portable and implantable medical monitoring devices. A highly flexible, skin conformal, and excellent spatial resolution X-ray detector is expected to be integrated with curved objects and moving entity systems to achieve intrinsic flexibility and high sensitivity in skin like X-ray detectors.

However, the stability and image resolution of X-ray detectors based on organic polymer semiconductor materials under irradiation are poor, which limits the application of such devices. Liu Yunqi, an academician of the CAS Member, and Guo Yunlong, a researcher in the Key Laboratory of the Institute of Mechanical and Solid State of the Chemical Research Institute, have made a series of progress in high-performance intrinsically stretchable organic optoelectronic materials and devices.

Recently, in response to the reported issues of high operating voltage, poor stability, and low integration of stretchable organic optoelectronic devices, the team has proposed a new strategy of using removable interfaces to assist in the preparation of high-density intrinsic stretchable organic transistor arrays. This strategy introduces a lithium fluoride sacrificial layer on patterned photoresist to construct a detachable interface, achieving scalable integration of high-resolution intrinsic stretchable electrodes. The short channel stretchable organic transistor prepared in this study has low operating voltage, high optoelectronic performance, and excellent stability. The stretchable image sensor based on this short channel transistor exhibits a resolution of up to 10 lp mm-1 and achieves images of millions of pixels. This strategy provides a simple and universal optoelectronic integration platform. The relevant results were published in Nature Communications.

In addition, the team published a review paper on "Emerging Materials and Transistors for Integrated Circuits" in the National Science Review, summarizing the molecular design of high mobility semiconductor materials and functional fusion of mechanical, optical, and thermal properties. They analyzed and looked forward to the research progress and direction of functionalized high mobility polymer semiconductors.
The research work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
