The compatibility of the gate dielectrics with semiconductors is vital for constructing efficient conducting channel for high charge transport. However, it is still a highly challenging mission to clearly clarify the relationship between the dielectric layers and the chemical structure of semiconductors, especially vacuum-deposited small molecules. Here, interfacial molecular screening of polyimide (Kapton) dielectric in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) is comprehensively studied. It is found that the semiconducting small molecules with alkyl side chains prefer to form a high-quality charge transport layer on polyimide (PI) dielectrics compared with the molecules without alkyl side chains. On this basis, the fabricated transistors could reach the mobility of 1.2 cm² V⁻¹ s⁻¹ the molecule with alkyl side chains on bare PI dielectric. What is more, the compatible semiconductor and dielectric would further produce a low activation energy (E_A) of 3.01 meV towards efficient charge transport even at low temperature (e.g., 100 K, 0.9 cm² V⁻¹ s⁻¹). Our research provides a guiding scheme for the construction of high-performance thin-film field-effect transistors based on PI dielectric layer at room and low temperatures.
