Conjugated polymers have received considerable attentions over the past years due to their large-area potential applications via low-cost solution processing. Improving crystallinity of conjugated polymer molecules in solution-processed thin films is crucial for their efficient charge transport and thus high performance optoelectronic devices. Herein, with diketopyrrolopyrrole-quaterthiophene (PDQT) copolymer as an example, it is found that by simply reducing the solution concentration for spincoating meanwhile with the assistance of post-annealing, significantly enhanced film crystallinity with formation of typical single crystalline domains is obtained, which benefits from the enough space for better molecular assembly especially at the semiconductor/dielectric interface. High performance polymer transistors and phototransistors were finally constructed based on the optimal lowconcentration (2 mg/mL) spin-coated PDQT films (~12 nm), which giving a high charge carrier mobility of 2.28 cm² V^-1 s^-1 and a photoresponse on/off ratio of 2.1×10⁷ at V_G=0 V under white light irradiation of 6 mW/cm². The results suggest that the bright future of PDQT crystalline films for large-area flexible integrated optoelectronic devices and the application of effective low-concentration processing approach in solution-processed organic electronics with reduced material waste.
