Field-effect mobility of electrons as high as 0.1 cm2/(V s) is observed in n-channel thin film transistors fabricated from a solution spin-coated conjugated ladder polymer, poly(benzobisimidazobenzophenanthroline) (BBL), under ambient air conditions. This is the highest electron mobility observed to date
