Two-dimensional (2D) materials are outstanding candidates for stretchable electronics, but a significant challenge is their heterogeneous integration into stretchable geometries on soft substrates. Here, we demonstrate a strategy for stretchable thin film transistors (2D S-TFT) based on wrinkled heterostructures on elastomer substrates where 2D materials formed the gate, source, drain, and channel and characterized them with Raman spectroscopy and transport measurements. The 2D S-TFTs had initial mobility of 4.9 ± 0.7 cm 2 /(V s). The wrinkling reduced the strain transferred into the 2D materials by a factor of 50, allowing a substrate stretch of up to 23% that could be cycled thousands of times without electrical degradation. The stretch did not alter the mobility but did lead to strain-induced threshold voltage shifts by Δ V T = -1.9 V. These 2D S-TFTs form the foundation for stretchable integrated circuits and enable investigations of the impact of heterogeneous strain on electron transport.
