Curable polymeric materials and related electronic devices

An electronic device comprising a field-effect transistor having a semiconductor layer comprising a semiconducting electronic material, a dielectric layer comprising an insulating electronic material, and source, drain, and gate electrodes each comprising a conducting electronic material, wherein the field-effect transistor comprises:

• an organic material comprising a linear polymer having a repeating unit of formula (A):
• wherein:
• X is selected from the group consisting of CH2, CHR, CR2, C(O), SiH2, SiHR, SiR2, NH, NR, O, and S;
• Y is absent or selected from the group consisting of CH2, CHR, CR2, C(O), SiH2, SiHR, SiR2, NH, NR, O, and S;
• Q1-Q2 is CH═CH or
• Q3-Q4 is CR1═CR2 or
• R is selected from the group consisting of a halogen, —OR3, —C(O)OR3, —OC(O)R3, —NR4R5, —C(O)NR4R5, —OC(O)NR4R5, a C1-10 alkyl group, a C1-10 haloalkyl group, and an optionally substituted aryl or heteroaryl group;
• R1 and R2 independently are selected from the group consisting of H, a halogen, —OR3, —C(O)OR3, —OC(O)R3, —NR4R5, —C(O)NR4R5, —OC(O)NR4R5, a C1-10 alkyl group, a C1-10 haloalkyl group, and an optionally substituted aryl or heteroaryl group;
• R3 is a C1-10 alkyl group or a —Si(C1-10 alkyl)3 group;
• R4 and R5 independently are H or a C1-10 alkyl group;
• and
• m is 0, 1 or 2;
• wherein either the dielectric layer comprises the organic material as the insulating electronic material or the organic material is in contact with at least one of the semiconducting electronic material, the insulating electronic material, and the conducting electronic material.
