Our flexible organic single-crystal device opens up a feasible opportunity in constructing flexible high-sensitivity temperature sensor and exhibits the potential in the portable and wearable sensing platform for future health monitoring and diagnosis. Furthermore, such temperature dependence properties based on an organic crystal device exhibit good versatility for other organic semiconductor materials, including pentacene and dinaphtho benzo dithiophene (Ph5T2). The low Young’s modulus of organic materials ensures that the device can well adhere on curved objects with excellent temperature dependence behavior. This value is an order of magnitude higher than this value in OFET with the organic thin film as sensing element.


Benefitting from organic crystal without defects and grain boundaries, the device exhibits the ultrahigh-temperature sensitivity up to 1.34%/☌. Our organic crystal device realizes excellent temperature dependence including the two-terminal and three-terminal device geometry. Here, we utilized an organic rubrene crystal as sensing element for systematically exploring the temperature sensing properties of organic field-effect transistor (OFET). Accurate and continuous temperature detection within the range of human body temperature is critical for artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and advanced healthcare.
