Abstract

Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) can generally be classified into two types: organic field effect transistors (OFET) and organic electrochemical transistors (OECT). Although both types of devices have been demonstrated for circuit and sensor applications (Brown et al. in Science 270:972–974, 1995; Schwartz et al. in Nat Commun 4:1859, 2013; Burgt et al. in Nat Mater 16:414–419, 2017; Khodagholy et al. in Nat Commun 4:2133, 2013), their research priorities are very different.
