摘要

Intrinsically stretchable electronics have shown potential in applications ranging from wearable health monitors to soft robotics. However, despite recent developments in material design, processing techniques and bio-integration, the fabrication of complementary circuits using scalable methods remains challenging. Here we report intrinsically stretchable organic complementary circuits that are solution processed and based on direct photo-patternable polymer semiconductors. By covalently embedding a high-performance n-type polymer semiconductor inside an elastomer matrix, we fabricate fully stretchable transistors with electron mobilities of 0.28 cm2 V−1 s−1 under 100% strain. Furthermore, with a covalent functionalization strategy on the p-type polymer semiconductor layer, we demonstrate successive, direct photo-patterning of n-type polymer semiconductors without electrical degradation on the existing p-type. We use this approach to fabricate intrinsically stretchable logic gates and ring oscillators with stable performance up to 100% strain at a low operating voltage of 2 V.
