13.1 Introduction

Electronic devices consisting of organic materials have attracted considerable attention owing to their potential advantages, such as low production cost, large-scale manufacture, solution processability, and mechanical compatibility with plastic substrates. These advantages make it possible to present a new paradigm called “flexible electronics” [1–5]. The organic field-effect transistor (OFET) is a key device in flexible electronics [6–8]. Recently, field-effect carrier mobility has reached 20 cm ...
